0:00:11 > 0:00:12Hello. Good morning.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14This is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.
0:00:14 > 0:00:17Oxfam comes under increasing pressure, as the charity's bosses
0:00:17 > 0:00:20try to convince government ministers they should keep millions of pounds
0:00:20 > 0:00:22of public funding.
0:00:22 > 0:00:26The aid agency will have to say what it knew about allegations
0:00:26 > 0:00:29of sexual misconduct by some of its staff in Haiti and what it's
0:00:29 > 0:00:37doing to stop it happening again.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Good morning.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45It's Monday the 12th of February.
0:00:45 > 0:00:52Also this morning:
0:00:52 > 0:00:53Oh, something just fell.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Three British tourists who died in a helicopter crash
0:00:56 > 0:00:58in the Grand Canyon are named by US police.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Three other Britons were injured.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Details of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's
0:01:02 > 0:01:02wedding are announced.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05A midday ceremony means it's unlikely to clash with the FA
0:01:05 > 0:01:10Cup final.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Good morning.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14An inquiry is being launched into the imminent collapse
0:01:14 > 0:01:17of the East Coast rail franchise which connects London King's Cross
0:01:17 > 0:01:20with Edinburgh and carries nearly 38 million passengers a year.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22I'll be finding out what's gone wrong and what it
0:01:22 > 0:01:23means for passengers.
0:01:23 > 0:01:24Good morning.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26In sport, "absolutely brutal" is how the conditions in Pyeongchang
0:01:26 > 0:01:27have been described.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Most of the snowboarders fell in the Winter Olympics slopestyle,
0:01:30 > 0:01:32knocked off course by strong winds.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Joanna Lumley, host of this year's BAFTA Awards,
0:01:34 > 0:01:37tells Naga how the Me Too and Times Up movements are changing
0:01:37 > 0:01:45the world of film and entertainment.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49I hope this opens windows and floods light into every part of the
0:01:49 > 0:01:51industry and all industries.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53And Matt's admiring the snowdrops at RHS Wisley.
0:01:53 > 0:01:54And Matt's admiring the snowdrops at RHS Wisley.
0:01:54 > 0:02:06Good morning. Snowdrops appearing.
0:02:06 > 0:02:11Widespread frost this morning across the UK. More sunshine, lighter
0:02:11 > 0:02:14winds, and fewer snow showers compared to yesterday. Excellent,
0:02:14 > 0:02:20and wearing gloves as well.
0:02:20 > 0:02:21Good morning.
0:02:21 > 0:02:22First, our main story.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Senior officials at Oxfam will today try to convince
0:02:24 > 0:02:26the International Development Secretary that they should
0:02:26 > 0:02:29keep their millions of pounds a year in government funding
0:02:29 > 0:02:32despite the revelation that aid workers used prostitutes in Haiti
0:02:32 > 0:02:33after the devastating earthquake there.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35The charity's been accused of concealing the full findings
0:02:35 > 0:02:38of an investigation in 2011 which resulted in seven
0:02:38 > 0:02:39sackings and resignations.
0:02:39 > 0:02:40Oxfam denies claims of a cover-up.
0:02:40 > 0:02:47Our diplomatic correspondent, James Landale, reports.
0:02:47 > 0:02:55The allegations of sexual misconduct by Oxfam aid workers in Haiti
0:02:58 > 0:03:01in 2011 have threatened not just the charity's reputation,
0:03:01 > 0:03:04but also the £32 million it gets each year from the government.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06The International Development Secretary, Penny Mordaunt,
0:03:06 > 0:03:09has threatened to withhold the cash, unless Oxfam shows the moral
0:03:09 > 0:03:12leadership she thinks it's lacked in the way its handled
0:03:12 > 0:03:13the scandal thus far.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16The charity has been accused of covering up the full scale
0:03:16 > 0:03:18of the allegations, that includes staff holding
0:03:18 > 0:03:18parties with prostitutes.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Today, Ms Mordaunt will meet senior figures from the charity and ask
0:03:22 > 0:03:24them to hand over everything they know about past
0:03:24 > 0:03:26and current abuses.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30I'm affording them the opportunity to tell me in person what they did
0:03:30 > 0:03:35after these events, and I'm going to be looking to see
0:03:35 > 0:03:38if they are displaying the moral leadership that I think
0:03:38 > 0:03:39they need to now.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Ms Mordaunt wants to know more about the concerns staff had
0:03:42 > 0:03:44about the recruitment of workers in Haiti,
0:03:44 > 0:03:47and she wants to know what Oxfam is doing to stop it
0:03:47 > 0:03:49ever happening again.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Ms Mordaunt would also meet the Charity Commission to discuss
0:03:51 > 0:03:56what more can be done to regulate non-governmental organisations.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00Oxfam has apologised and says it will take further action to improve
0:04:00 > 0:04:02the safeguarding, vetting and recruitment of staff.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05James Landale, BBC News.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08After 7am this morning, we'll be speaking to the boss
0:04:08 > 0:04:10of Save the Children, another charity who faces questions
0:04:10 > 0:04:12over allegations they investigated staff over claims of sexual
0:04:12 > 0:04:20misconduct.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Three British tourists have been killed in a helicopter crash
0:04:27 > 0:04:28in the United States.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31It happened on a sightseeing trip in the Grand Canyon.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33They've been named by police in Arizona as 27-year-old,
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Becky Dobson, Jason Hill, who was 32, and 30-year-old,
0:04:35 > 0:04:36Stuart Hill.
0:04:36 > 0:04:41Three other British nationals and the pilot were injured.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45Our first responders had a 20 minute hike, 20 minute hike, to get to the
0:04:45 > 0:04:52scene. They were right on... We were notified of the crash at 540, and
0:04:52 > 0:04:56first responders were on the scene within the first 30 minutes. And
0:04:56 > 0:04:56first responders were on the scene within the first 30 minutes. And we
0:04:56 > 0:05:06attribute that quick response to what help save lives.-- helped.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Russian investigators are searching fields near Moscow for clues to find
0:05:09 > 0:05:12out why a passenger plane crashed, killing all 71 people on board.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15The Saratov Airlines jet went down just a few minutes after taking
0:05:15 > 0:05:16off yesterday afternoon.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Officials say they are considering weather conditions,
0:05:18 > 0:05:21human error and technical failure as possible causes but they did not
0:05:21 > 0:05:23mention the possibility of terrorism.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Theresa May and the Irish Prime Minister, Leo Varadkar,
0:05:25 > 0:05:27are to visit Belfast today for talks with
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Northern Ireland's main parties.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31There are growing indications that the Democratic Unionist Party
0:05:31 > 0:05:35and Sinn Fein may be close to a deal to restore devolved government.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Let's speak to our political correspondent, Ben Wright,
0:05:37 > 0:05:43who's in Westminster.
0:05:43 > 0:05:50This has gone on for so many months. What is the latest?13 months.
0:05:50 > 0:05:57January last year is when the DUP Sinn Fein government in Belfast
0:05:57 > 0:06:03imploded among a public spending scandal. There was a deep rift among
0:06:03 > 0:06:06the two parties preventing a succession of talks making any
0:06:06 > 0:06:15progress in the months since then. Things have split between them,
0:06:15 > 0:06:19including same-sex marriage and enshrining language. Talks have gone
0:06:19 > 0:06:24nowhere. There is hope they could be on the verge of a breakthrough.
0:06:24 > 0:06:29Theresa May and Leo Varadkar, they would not be going to Belfast today
0:06:29 > 0:06:34if they did not think an agreement was in reach. It is in the interest
0:06:34 > 0:06:39of both sides to get it done. London does not want direct control over
0:06:39 > 0:06:43Northern Ireland. They want the power-sharing agreement back up and
0:06:43 > 0:06:49running. It feels like that could be getting close.OK, well, we will
0:06:49 > 0:06:51see. Thank you very much.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Parents should take their children to see a pharmacist if they only
0:06:54 > 0:06:55have a minor illness.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57That's the message of a new health campaign.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59NHS England says easily treated conditions are adding
0:06:59 > 0:07:02to the pressure on GP surgeries and Accident and Emergency
0:07:02 > 0:07:04departments, as our health correspondent,
0:07:04 > 0:07:04James Gallagher, reports.
0:07:04 > 0:07:05Morning.
0:07:05 > 0:07:06How can I help?
0:07:06 > 0:07:10I'd like some advice on my daughter, please.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12When the kids are ill and you need medical advice,
0:07:12 > 0:07:15do you think of the pharmacy?
0:07:15 > 0:07:18This NHS campaign says tummy troubles, teething,
0:07:18 > 0:07:21and coughs are all best dealt with by a high street pharmacist.
0:07:21 > 0:07:26It's part of a drive to relieve pressure on doctors' time.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Figures released as part of the Stay Well Pharmacy campaign
0:07:28 > 0:07:32estimates around 18 million GP appointments each year and more
0:07:32 > 0:07:35than 2 million A&E visits are for patients that could be
0:07:35 > 0:07:36treated with over-the-counter medication.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39It says the appointments cost the NHS more than £850
0:07:39 > 0:07:42million each year.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46Pharmacists are highly trained healthcare professionals.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49They train for five years in the use of medicines and how to get the best
0:07:49 > 0:07:52out of using medicines, but also in how to treat minor
0:07:52 > 0:08:00illness, minor disease, and, really importantly,
0:08:01 > 0:08:04how to understand when perhaps it's more serious and people need
0:08:04 > 0:08:05to seek extra help.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09I feel so dreadful!
0:08:09 > 0:08:12The Patients Association said the campaign had some merits,
0:08:12 > 0:08:15but said anyone with a health concern should feel able to turn
0:08:15 > 0:08:16to their GP.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18The pharmacy is just around the corner.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21I can go and see a fully trained healthcare professional,
0:08:21 > 0:08:21no appointment needed!
0:08:21 > 0:08:26James Gallagher, BBC News.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28South Africa's governing party, the ANC, says the fate
0:08:28 > 0:08:31of President Zuma will be decided within 24 hours.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33There is mounting pressure for him to stand down,
0:08:33 > 0:08:34following allegations of corruption.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38Speaking at a rally in Cape Town, the leader of the ANC,
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Cyril Ramaphosa said the key aim of any transition of power
0:08:41 > 0:08:44was to unite South Africans.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46London City Airport has been closed until further notice
0:08:46 > 0:08:49after the discovery of an unexploded Second World War bomb.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51The device was found in the River Thames.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Passengers are being urged to check with their airlines before
0:08:54 > 0:09:02travelling this morning.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Kensington Palace has announced more details of the wedding
0:09:08 > 0:09:10of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at Windsor Castle.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13The service will start at midday, meaning there's good news
0:09:13 > 0:09:17for football fans as it is unlikely to clash with the FA Cup final.
0:09:17 > 0:09:25Our royal correspondent, Nicholas Witchell, reports.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29They are said to be closely involved in the arrangements for their
0:09:29 > 0:09:35wedding which is now a little less than 14 weeks away. It will take
0:09:35 > 0:09:38place in the historic setting of St Georges chapel within Windsor Castle
0:09:38 > 0:09:41on Saturday the 19th of May. The service will begin at midday with
0:09:41 > 0:09:50the Dean of Windsor officiating. Room within the chapel is limited,
0:09:50 > 0:09:55with space for around 800 guests. At one o'clock, the couple, married, as
0:09:55 > 0:10:02they will be by then, will set off in a carriage procession back to the
0:10:02 > 0:10:08castle for a reception in Saint Georges Hall. The carriage
0:10:08 > 0:10:11procession, they hope, will fulfil the pledge they made at the time of
0:10:11 > 0:10:15their engagement to make it possible for members of the public to feel
0:10:15 > 0:10:21part of the occasion. Nicholas Witchell, BBC News.
0:10:21 > 0:10:30This is not important, what I am going to say about the FA Cup.
0:10:30 > 0:10:37Somebody will be on that day, it won't be me.BBC One at 12 o'clock.
0:10:37 > 0:10:46That is our spot! You cannot take our spot!Apparently they have. We
0:10:46 > 0:10:54will come on later. Who knows.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Have a look at this amazing image.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00It's of a single glowing atom of the metal strontium and it's won
0:11:00 > 0:11:02first prize in a science photography competition.
0:11:02 > 0:11:07Can you see that?Right in the middle. Amazing.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10The image, taken by David Nadlinger was captured through the window
0:11:10 > 0:11:13of a vacuum chamber in an Oxford University laboratory,
0:11:13 > 0:11:14using an ordinary digital camera.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Two metal electrodes placed two millimetres apart held the strontium
0:11:17 > 0:11:25as it was illuminated with a blue-coloured laser.
0:11:27 > 0:11:37It looks like a tiny little star.It is not very often you are
0:11:37 > 0:11:45speechless, but that is one time. Good morning. We have to start
0:11:45 > 0:11:53somewhere. Pyeongchang. Did you watch any?Quite a lot.So much of
0:11:53 > 0:12:02it is so brave.People are saying we should send over an average Joe to
0:12:02 > 0:12:08try all the sports to give us something to measure against.
0:12:08 > 0:12:16Perhaps Mike Bushell. The triathlon yesterday. Cross-country skiing,
0:12:16 > 0:12:22mixed with shooting! Why not? Why would you not? Totally bonkers!
0:12:22 > 0:12:29Absolutely. More than that, if you are waking up this morning to frosty
0:12:29 > 0:12:32and snowy weather, spare a thought for them over there. Incredible
0:12:32 > 0:12:34conditions.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Britain's Aimee Fuller said the conditions were "absolutely
0:12:36 > 0:12:38brutal" for the slopestyle snowboard competition.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Qualifying was cancelled yesterday, but if anything, the winds
0:12:40 > 0:12:42were worse today in the final.
0:12:42 > 0:12:43Fuller finished 17th.
0:12:43 > 0:12:51Gold went to Sochi champion, Jamie Anderson.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01More Six nations action this weekend.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Yesterday, former captain, Greg Laidlaw, kicked Scotland
0:13:04 > 0:13:08to victory in their match against France.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11He kicked 22 points for his side, as they came from behind
0:13:11 > 0:13:12to win at Murrayfield.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Next for Scotland is England, in two weeks' time.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Newcaslte United have won their first Premier League
0:13:17 > 0:13:19home game since October, and it was Manchester United
0:13:19 > 0:13:21who were on the receiving end.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Matt Ritchie scored the only goal of the game.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26And Rangers smashed six past Ayr United as they made it
0:13:26 > 0:13:28into the quarter-finals of the Scottish Cup,
0:13:28 > 0:13:31striker, Alferdo Morelos, hitting two of them on his return
0:13:31 > 0:13:32to the side.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36He was very happy with that. A horrible miss. Right in front of all
0:13:36 > 0:13:41of the Ayr United fans.We will be live in Pyeongchang through the
0:13:41 > 0:13:46morning. And hang about for the papers.It is totally addictive,
0:13:46 > 0:13:54watching it. I cannot turn it off.I am lacking sleep.It is called here
0:13:54 > 0:13:56as well. -- cold.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Here's Matt with a look at this morning's weather at RHS Wisley.
0:13:59 > 0:14:06Good morning. We are in amongst the snowdrops. A sign of positivity that
0:14:06 > 0:14:13spring is never far away. The RHS is saying over the past decade, the
0:14:13 > 0:14:22snowdrops have appeared earlier and earlier. Is in this winter, which
0:14:22 > 0:14:25has been average, snowdrops made early appearances. Sometimes as
0:14:25 > 0:14:34early as December. They may be the sign that spring is not far around
0:14:34 > 0:14:39the corner. I do not think we are done with winter yet. Certainly this
0:14:39 > 0:14:46morning, it is a cold, cold start. The forecasts. A frosty start across
0:14:46 > 0:14:52the country this morning. A day of sunshine and if you showers. Not as
0:14:52 > 0:15:00many as three the weekend. Light winds. Not as chilly. The UK. The
0:15:00 > 0:15:06best of the sunshine, central and eastern areas. Snow showers across
0:15:06 > 0:15:08south-western Scotland and Northern Ireland and parts of northern
0:15:08 > 0:15:15England. A covering of snow during the morning rush-hour. Taking a look
0:15:15 > 0:15:19to the south-west and Wales, showers will be a mixture of rain, sleet,
0:15:19 > 0:15:25and hail. Not too many in the forecast. Dry and sunny weather in
0:15:25 > 0:15:34between. Some slippery conditions. Temperatures up a little bit on
0:15:34 > 0:15:38yesterday given the fact winds are lighter. A chilly day by and large.
0:15:38 > 0:15:44Not a bad start for many of you. Frost will form the night. A weather
0:15:44 > 0:15:51front working in from the west. Strengthening winds. Snowfall in
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Northern Ireland and eventually into parts of Scotland and northern
0:15:54 > 0:15:59England. Not just on the hills, we could see it at lower levels as
0:15:59 > 0:16:02well. That could cause problems on Tuesday morning rush-hour in central
0:16:02 > 0:16:08and southern Scotland and the final of England in particular. -- far
0:16:08 > 0:16:12north. Sleet and snow over higher ground. Especially Wales to be
0:16:12 > 0:16:18pushing east through the day with strong to gale force winds. How far
0:16:18 > 0:16:23that goes, it is uncertain at the moment. We will brighten up with
0:16:23 > 0:16:27sunshine in the afternoon. Snow flurries in western Scotland. The
0:16:27 > 0:16:32windfall in lighter compared to the morning. A fairly cool day by and
0:16:32 > 0:16:38large. Tuesday night. A risk of frost and ice around. Wednesday,
0:16:38 > 0:16:42another weather system pushing its way in. Not as potent as that.
0:16:42 > 0:16:48Tomorrow, snow is limited to the higher ground of Scotland and
0:16:48 > 0:16:52Ireland. Milder air. Outbreaks of rain and drizzle. Hill snow for many
0:16:52 > 0:16:56of us. Strong to gale force winds to the 11 degrees in the far
0:16:56 > 0:17:03south-west. That clears through Wednesday night. Patchy frost on
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Thursday. Cloud across southern and eastern parts of the country, but
0:17:06 > 0:17:11many parts are back to sunshine once again. Slightly lighter winds to be
0:17:11 > 0:17:16back the cold air by Thursday with snow showers around, especially in
0:17:16 > 0:17:28the north of the country.
0:17:30 > 0:17:36I spotted lots of snowdrops. It is hard to see them. Holly is staying
0:17:36 > 0:17:42around. Should go with a front page of the Telegraph? Boris Johnson. He
0:17:42 > 0:17:48is on a tour of Asia. He has been visiting a burnt out village in
0:17:48 > 0:17:57Burma. Lots of the papers talking about this. This is about Oxfam.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01Ministers have launched an investigation. Foreign aid officials
0:18:01 > 0:18:06brushed off allegations of child abuse. We are talking about that
0:18:06 > 0:18:10through the programme. And take your sick children to a pharmacy, not a
0:18:10 > 0:18:22GP.The front page of the Guardian, the Oxfam crisis is the main story.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26In Cape Town, South Africa, the ruling party can force President
0:18:26 > 0:18:33Jacob Zuma to step down this week. The Daily Mail is talking about
0:18:33 > 0:18:39Oxfam. The Daily Mirror have a story there about botched operations
0:18:39 > 0:18:46abroad. The NHS spending £30 million in the last five years fixing
0:18:46 > 0:18:50botched plastic surgery done on the cheap abroad.Some tapes from Ian
0:18:50 > 0:18:55Huntley. They've got access to these recordings. In the Daily Express,
0:18:55 > 0:19:01icy storms.
0:19:02 > 0:19:12icy storms. Deep snow. Are you OK? We have a silent sneeze. We had that
0:19:12 > 0:19:16guy who was a sneeze expert, you got to let it out.It's not nice for
0:19:16 > 0:19:20everybody waking up and having their Breakfast.Always better out than
0:19:20 > 0:19:25in.There is a rumour doing the rounds that Tesco might be opening a
0:19:25 > 0:19:32Budget store to
0:19:32 > 0:19:35Budget store to rival Aldi and Lidl. They are working on a secret plan
0:19:35 > 0:19:42for a new secret discount grocery chain. Tesco is still the biggest
0:19:42 > 0:19:48supermarket in the UK. It has a huge share of the grocery sector but the
0:19:48 > 0:19:54other two have been slowly chipping away at their market share. It would
0:19:54 > 0:20:00be interesting to see what happened. They can neither confirm nor deny it
0:20:00 > 0:20:08has happened. Interesting when we get that kind of thing happening.A
0:20:08 > 0:20:14lot of the papers focusing on this this morning. He has been one of the
0:20:14 > 0:20:20shocks so far. He won gold in the snowboard slope style and he is just
0:20:20 > 0:20:2717 years old.You did brilliantly. It's like he can literally fly. At
0:20:27 > 0:20:3317, he looks about 14 or 15. He just looked so uncomfortable. He didn't
0:20:33 > 0:20:38know if he was supposed to wave, shake hands. We did it all
0:20:38 > 0:20:47simultaneously. He has the best name.
0:20:47 > 0:20:53name. His name is Red Jerrod. A lot of Liverpool fans getting excited. I
0:20:53 > 0:21:02hope he is a Liverpool fan.We were talking about job titles. This is
0:21:02 > 0:21:08from the Telegraph.
0:21:08 > 0:21:16from the Telegraph. What is a hygiene technician?A cleaner.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20hygiene technician?A cleaner.What is the media distribution opposite?
0:21:20 > 0:21:27A newspaper person. In the Victorian era, they also had quite interesting
0:21:27 > 0:21:34job titles.You can guess what these are. What is a manciple? No idea.
0:21:34 > 0:21:42It's a servant. The next one, what is a couranteer?This is a gel in
0:21:42 > 0:21:52the cash journalist.In the last one, I love this one,
0:21:53 > 0:21:56one, I love this one, what is a Professor of the Natatorial Art?
0:21:56 > 0:22:03What is it going to be?
0:22:03 > 0:22:05What is it going to be? It is a swimming instructor.What a
0:22:05 > 0:22:11ridiculous title.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15ridiculous title.My wine that I like is a person who makes washable
0:22:15 > 0:22:22weeks. Absolutely -- my one. Absolutely brilliant. I need to
0:22:22 > 0:22:24invest.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26We often hear about children's academic performance
0:22:26 > 0:22:27at school being measured.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30What you might not realise is that, in England and Wales,
0:22:30 > 0:22:32their weight is also under review.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35In a bid to tackle childhood obesity, Public Health England
0:22:35 > 0:22:37weighs every child as they join and leave primary school.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40But statistics don't tell the whole story -
0:22:40 > 0:22:43and when one mother received a letter to say that her cricket-mad
0:22:43 > 0:22:51daughter was "very overweight", she chose to speak out.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57This is 11-year-old Daisy from Christchurch. She plays cricket the
0:22:57 > 0:23:01Dorset County youth team and is pretty active but a so-called fax
0:23:01 > 0:23:06letter was sent home scene based on how age, height and weight, Daisy
0:23:06 > 0:23:11was very overweight.Soon after that, I noticed that she was
0:23:11 > 0:23:14skipping Breakfast and she didn't want to play cricket. She thought
0:23:14 > 0:23:21she was too large.I lost my confidence and I didn't really want
0:23:21 > 0:23:30to play anything.Like cricket. The letters are sent as part of a scheme
0:23:30 > 0:23:33run by Public Health England tracking the measurements of all
0:23:33 > 0:23:38primary school children.If we weren't measuring children in the
0:23:38 > 0:23:42way that we currently do, the first thing is we wouldn't know the scale
0:23:42 > 0:23:46of the problem that we currently have, we wouldn't know that 20% of
0:23:46 > 0:23:51children leaving primary school are classified as obese and winner the
0:23:51 > 0:23:56problems of those children as they grow up.But leading sport scientist
0:23:56 > 0:24:01Doctor Gavin Sandakan is unconvinced.One thing we do know
0:24:01 > 0:24:05about seeing Daisy as she is very active and of course, muscle weighs
0:24:05 > 0:24:10a lot more than that does and this BMI measurement doesn't take into
0:24:10 > 0:24:14account how muscular she is. At the best, a waste of time and money and
0:24:14 > 0:24:18money and at the worst, it's the labelling and a form of body
0:24:18 > 0:24:24fascism.Daisy and her family agree. I want Public Health England to stop
0:24:24 > 0:24:28waiting and measuring our children and stop wasting taxpayers money and
0:24:28 > 0:24:34taking away of our confidence. Children shouldn't be worrying about
0:24:34 > 0:24:38their weight. They've got more important stuff to think about.
0:24:38 > 0:24:47Rather than sending a letter, it would be better to do more sports.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51We will be talking about that a little bit later. That was John
0:24:51 > 0:24:52Cuthill reporting.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55You can see more on this tonight on BBC Inside Out on BBC1
0:24:55 > 0:24:58in the south at 7.30pm and everywhere else
0:24:58 > 0:24:59on the iPlayer afterwards.
0:24:59 > 0:25:04Also, if you have had one of those letters about your children, let us
0:25:04 > 0:25:09know what you think. Do you think it's a good idea? Is it damaging?So
0:25:09 > 0:25:15many questions. We will also be speaking to Jill and Daisy Elizabeth
0:25:15 > 0:25:24later or more of a discussion.Still to come on the programme, would you
0:25:24 > 0:25:36take your child to a pharmacist rather than A&E for illness?I went
0:25:36 > 0:25:41to a pharmacist last year itchy IMA solved it.I just don't know where
0:25:41 > 0:25:46to go with that story.I had an itchy eye and it was swelling up and
0:25:46 > 0:25:56rather than bulk billing, she was amazing.Magic? Not magic.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20bit milder as we head towards the end of the week.
0:29:20 > 0:29:27More travel news on BBC Radio London. Back in half an hour.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29Hello.
0:29:29 > 0:29:33This is Breakfast with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.
0:29:33 > 0:29:34Welcome back.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37We'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment,
0:29:37 > 0:29:39but also on Breakfast this morning.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42As fresh reports emerge of charities investigating staff over sexual
0:29:42 > 0:29:44misconduct, we'll speak to the head of Save the Children,
0:29:44 > 0:29:47one of the agencies caught up in the scandal.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50Also this morning, it's been a tough brutal start to competition this
0:29:50 > 0:29:58morning, we'll have all the latest winter Olympics action.
0:29:59 > 0:30:04My job is like a headmistress. I say off you go...
0:30:04 > 0:30:07She'll be hoping she can keep order at the BAFTA's!
0:30:07 > 0:30:10Joanna Lumley speaks to Naga ahead of her hosting duties about taking
0:30:10 > 0:30:17over from Stephen Fry and her new film, "Finding Your Feet."
0:30:17 > 0:30:18Good morning.
0:30:18 > 0:30:26Here's a summary of today's main stories from BBC News.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29Senior officials at Oxfam will today try to convince
0:30:29 > 0:30:31the International Development Secretary that they should
0:30:31 > 0:30:34keep their millions of pounds a year in government funding
0:30:34 > 0:30:36despite the revelation that aid workers used prostitutes in Haiti
0:30:36 > 0:30:38after the devastating earthquake there.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40The charity's been accused of concealing the full findings
0:30:40 > 0:30:43of an investigation in 2011 which resulted in seven
0:30:43 > 0:30:44sackings and resignations.
0:30:44 > 0:30:45Oxfam denies claims of a cover-up.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48Three British tourists have been killed in a helicopter crash
0:30:48 > 0:30:49in the United States.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52It happened on a sightseeing trip in the Grand Canyon.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54They've been named by police in Arizona as 27-year-old,
0:30:54 > 0:30:57Becky Dobson, Jason Hill, who was 32, and 30-year-old,
0:30:57 > 0:30:57Stuart Hill.
0:30:57 > 0:31:03Three other British nationals and the pilot were injured.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05Our first responders had a 20 minute hike,
0:31:05 > 0:31:0820 minute hike, to get to the scene.
0:31:08 > 0:31:09They were right on...
0:31:09 > 0:31:12We were notified of the crash at 540, and first responders
0:31:12 > 0:31:14were on the scene within the first 30 minutes.
0:31:14 > 0:31:22And we attribute that quick response to what helped save lives.
0:31:31 > 0:31:36Russian investigators are searching fields near Moscow to try to find
0:31:36 > 0:31:40out what caused a crash killed in all people on board. It went down
0:31:40 > 0:31:44just a few minutes after taking off yesterday afternoon. They are
0:31:44 > 0:31:50considering mechanical issues, human failure, I did not mention the
0:31:50 > 0:31:53possibility of terrorism.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55Theresa May and the Irish Prime Minister, Leo Varadkar,
0:31:55 > 0:31:57are to visit Belfast today for talks with
0:31:57 > 0:31:59Northern Ireland's main parties.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02There are growing indications a deal is close that would see
0:32:02 > 0:32:02devolved government restored.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05Northern Ireland has been run by civil servants since the power
0:32:05 > 0:32:11sharing agreement between Sinn Fein and the DUP collapsed last January.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14Parents should take their children to see a pharmacist if they only
0:32:14 > 0:32:15have a minor illness.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17That's the message of a new health campaign.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19NHS England says easily treated conditions are adding
0:32:19 > 0:32:22to the pressure on GP surgeries and Accident and Emergency
0:32:22 > 0:32:25departments and going to the pharmacy could save the health
0:32:25 > 0:32:31service £850 million a year.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33London City Airport has been closed until further notice
0:32:33 > 0:32:36after the discovery of an unexploded Second World War bomb.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38The device was found in the River Thames.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41Passengers are being urged to check with their airlines before
0:32:41 > 0:32:49travelling this morning.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56Kensington Palace has announced more details about the wedding
0:32:56 > 0:32:59of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at Windsor Castle on the nineteenth
0:32:59 > 0:33:00of May.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03The service, in St George's Chapel, will begin at midday,
0:33:03 > 0:33:06which means it is unlikely to clash with the FA Cup Final.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08It's been confirmed that the Archbishop of Canterbury
0:33:08 > 0:33:11will marry the couple, and that the Dean of Windsor
0:33:11 > 0:33:12will conduct the service.
0:33:12 > 0:33:13800 guests will be there.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16The newlyweds will then embark on a short carriage procession
0:33:16 > 0:33:22around Windsor at one o'clock.
0:33:22 > 0:33:27You are up-to-date with the latest news. However many times you mention
0:33:27 > 0:33:31your programme, I do not think they will move the wedding.You have to
0:33:31 > 0:33:37consider these things.When you got married...You plan your day is very
0:33:37 > 0:33:40carefully and look through the sporting calendar and say you cannot
0:33:40 > 0:33:44do that one, you cannot do that one, it has to be that once a bite that
0:33:44 > 0:33:51is how you do it.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54is how you do it. -- has to be that one.You should put that in a letter
0:33:54 > 0:33:58and send it off to the palace and see what they think. I cannot
0:33:58 > 0:34:04believe Meghan Markle did not think of that. Flabbergasted. I am sure
0:34:04 > 0:34:10they will have a lovely day.Not so lovely in South Korea. The wind has
0:34:10 > 0:34:17been incredible.-16 degrees. I know it is the winter Olympics, it is
0:34:17 > 0:34:29going to be cold. It looks stunning. But it can get very cold. But
0:34:29 > 0:34:32this... It is taking it to another extreme. Some of the events have
0:34:32 > 0:34:40been cancelled and delayed over the weekend. Very difficult. It makes
0:34:40 > 0:34:45for awkward discussions to be had, whether or not some of the events
0:34:45 > 0:34:51can be continued. On a world stage like this, it is not easy.You want
0:34:51 > 0:34:56to do your best.Exactly. It has been an incredible weekend of sport.
0:34:56 > 0:35:03We will look at some of the action. Those incredible winds on day three
0:35:03 > 0:35:07have interrupted the action.
0:35:07 > 0:35:12Embracing the elements is the way of these athletes. Even they have their
0:35:12 > 0:35:17limits. The wind blows in from Siberia, bringing chill and danger.
0:35:17 > 0:35:24We are already 30 minutes delayed. It puts the women's slope style
0:35:24 > 0:35:31final in doubt. But after waiting an hour, conditions are cleared. The
0:35:31 > 0:35:39wind had only subsided, not gone away.My goodness.This was
0:35:39 > 0:35:45Slovakia's Claudia. She was OK, remarkably, and went against.We are
0:35:45 > 0:35:53absolutely on the limit of this contest.For Aimie Fuller of
0:35:53 > 0:35:57Britain, this was an unexpected run at the medals. With one run left she
0:35:57 > 0:36:04tried to take on the wind.She has got huge.-- win. It is out to be
0:36:04 > 0:36:08brutal. It is not how I planned and how I visualised for years of prep
0:36:08 > 0:36:14work to go today. I do not think it was a true show of women's female
0:36:14 > 0:36:22slope style. That is a shame for the sport. Amid the dusts and balls,
0:36:22 > 0:36:29Jimmy Anderson took the right amount of risk. -- gusts. A final, clouded
0:36:29 > 0:36:35by controversy.Things are more serene inside the ice rink. Know
0:36:35 > 0:36:40whether problems here. The first three days have seen the team
0:36:40 > 0:36:44competition, with Canada looking for gold with synchronised brilliance.
0:36:44 > 0:36:49In these Games, you are offered up against the elements. Turning danger
0:36:49 > 0:37:00into an style. -- often. Kozinski, BBC News. -- Joe Lynskey.
0:37:00 > 0:37:05He called it serene, but to me, it is so dangerous, with those blades.
0:37:05 > 0:37:09But it is so beautiful.And back home.
0:37:09 > 0:37:10And back home.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13Greg Laidlaw was the main man for Scotland as they beat France
0:37:13 > 0:37:1532-26 at Murrayfield in the Six Nations.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18He scored 22 of their points, including six penalties,
0:37:18 > 0:37:20as they got their first win of this year's competition.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23They face reigning champions England at Murrayfield next,
0:37:23 > 0:37:24in two weeks' time.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27Ireland claimed their first win of this year's Women's Six Nations,
0:37:27 > 0:37:29beating Italy by 21 points to eight.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32After a failing to score a single point in their first game,
0:37:32 > 0:37:34against France, the Irish were dominant from the start,
0:37:34 > 0:37:36scoring three tries, including this, from winger,
0:37:36 > 0:37:44Megan Williams.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51Newcastle hadn't won a home game in the Premier League since October,
0:37:51 > 0:37:54but they put that right yesterday, and it was Manchester United who
0:37:54 > 0:37:58suffered. Matt Ritchie scored the only goal of the game to lift his
0:37:58 > 0:38:01side two points clear of the relegation zone, and leave United 16
0:38:01 > 0:38:04points behind leaders, Manchester City.
0:38:04 > 0:38:08We could be hit ten hours and we would not score a goal. I think it
0:38:08 > 0:38:20is fair to say that Newcastle had a clean sheet. They scored. They said
0:38:20 > 0:38:22they would defend with everything.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24Rangers and Aberdeen completed the line up for the quarter-finals
0:38:24 > 0:38:26of the Scottish Cup.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28Aberdeen beat Dundee United 4-2, while Rangers looked
0:38:28 > 0:38:29in trouble against Ayr.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32They were already a goal down when Alfredo Morelos missed
0:38:32 > 0:38:32an absolute sitter.
0:38:32 > 0:38:39But he did redeem himself, scoring twice in a 6-1 victory.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41Now, who remembers Big Break from the 1990s?
0:38:41 > 0:38:46Well, snooker has returned to it the fun side with
0:38:46 > 0:38:49the Shoot Out Tournament, where the players have ten minutes
0:38:49 > 0:38:56to complete a frame.
0:38:56 > 0:39:00And we are looking forward to incredible pictures from the winter
0:39:00 > 0:39:07Olympics.You are watching every moment.
0:39:07 > 0:39:13moment.Some of the sports are easy to work out, but sometimes you need
0:39:13 > 0:39:21to find explanations.I am into curling.I am not yet.You will be
0:39:21 > 0:39:28soon.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31soon.Good morning. You are watching Breakfast.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35It was a routine flight on a modern plane with an experienced pilot.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37But yesterday a Russian airliner crashed shortly after taking off
0:39:37 > 0:39:40from Moscow Airport, killing all 71 passengers and crew.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42Investigators said they were looking into various possible causes
0:39:42 > 0:39:44including weather conditions, human error and technical failure.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46David Learmount is an aviation journalist.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49He joins us from our London newsroom.
0:39:49 > 0:39:54Good morning. Thank you for your time. There is limited evidence so
0:39:54 > 0:39:59far, but from what you have seen and read, what is your interpretation of
0:39:59 > 0:40:04what took place?I think you have just said it. You have to keep your
0:40:04 > 0:40:08mind open on this one. There are several indicators. It is a new
0:40:08 > 0:40:14aeroplane. But it is a modern aeroplane, made in Russia. It is...
0:40:14 > 0:40:18Umm... It is very well... The wreckage is very, very well
0:40:18 > 0:40:25scattered. So that means... And we also know that it came down
0:40:25 > 0:40:29extremely fast. In the last stages of its descent, it was coming down
0:40:29 > 0:40:36very, very fast. Umm... The most likely thing at this point, because
0:40:36 > 0:40:39the wreckage is so scattered, it suggests that the aircraft broke up
0:40:39 > 0:40:47in the air. Now, the obvious thing to look out would be sabotaged, a
0:40:47 > 0:40:55bomb on board, terrorism, it is a possibility. Otherwise, we are
0:40:55 > 0:40:58looking at things which are really rather more unlikely. Weather has
0:40:58 > 0:41:06been mentioned, yes. It is a typical Russian winter. But Russian pilots
0:41:06 > 0:41:10and aeroplanes are used to Russian winter. I would not put that on my
0:41:10 > 0:41:17list. I mean, we have got ghosts from the past like the Germanwings a
0:41:17 > 0:41:23cup of tea go to the I do not think there is direct evidence for it an
0:41:23 > 0:41:31attempt of pilots oversight. --I do not think. -- pilot suicide.We
0:41:31 > 0:41:41could see how bad the weather was. We have seen some pilots banned due
0:41:41 > 0:41:47to cockpit security. Could that be a potential line of investigation as
0:41:47 > 0:41:56well?Umm, I mean, I don't think we can rule anything out. In 2004, out
0:41:56 > 0:42:03of the same Russian, Moscow, error port, Domodedovo Airport, two planes
0:42:03 > 0:42:09took off for different destination. -- airport. Both of them blew up in
0:42:09 > 0:42:12the sky because there was a hijacker on board. Since that time,
0:42:12 > 0:42:21Domodedovo Airport has improved its security hugely. So, you know, it
0:42:21 > 0:42:28would be surprising if add that airports now you could get a bomb or
0:42:28 > 0:42:32explosives through as an on board passenger. -- at that airport. That
0:42:32 > 0:42:38is what happened then. But, of course, a couple of years ago, there
0:42:38 > 0:42:43was a Russian aircraft blown out of the sky over Sinai. That was a bomb
0:42:43 > 0:42:50which got on it probably through ground crew at the airport. So,
0:42:50 > 0:42:55really, what we are looking at more than anything else at the moment,
0:42:55 > 0:42:57because there are still other possibilities, it is this scattering
0:42:57 > 0:43:03of the wreck it. And you have to be careful with looking at nonaviation
0:43:03 > 0:43:07people who are eyewitnesses saying there was an explosion in the sky.
0:43:07 > 0:43:14-- wreckage. Often the trauma of the crash is enough to jerk the
0:43:14 > 0:43:19imagination. But nonetheless, people said it wrote up in the air.Thank
0:43:19 > 0:43:26you for that interesting information. -- broke up in the air.
0:43:26 > 0:43:37There were no air crashes last year. There was also a crash in the Grand
0:43:37 > 0:43:53Canyon which we will also bring it. Good morning. It is pretty cold.
0:43:54 > 0:44:03Yes, the sun rises over half an hour away but it is a fine start here. We
0:44:03 > 0:44:11are at RHS Wisley in Surrey. The latter
0:44:11 > 0:44:15latter name fur for snowdrops is galanthis navalis which helps with
0:44:15 > 0:44:25pollination, in reference to plants. It is certainly a cold start this
0:44:25 > 0:44:34morning. At the some of you, a cold, frosty and icy start. Lots of dry
0:44:34 > 0:44:41and sunny weather. Still a few snow flurries here and there. We have
0:44:41 > 0:44:46them in western Scotland, Northern Ireland as well. And a few isolated
0:44:46 > 0:44:55showers towards the south-west. It will turn icy pretty quickly. We saw
0:44:55 > 0:44:59showers last night. Many central and eastern areas, having a dry and
0:44:59 > 0:45:06sunny day. Southwest England and Wales will see one or two showers.
0:45:06 > 0:45:09Further north into northern England and Scotland and Northern Ireland,
0:45:09 > 0:45:15we will see snow, given a further centimetre or two in places. Leading
0:45:15 > 0:45:19up to a cold evening. Many places today, from what we saw yesterday,
0:45:19 > 0:45:24the wind is a little bit lighter. We have the sunshine on you, it might
0:45:24 > 0:45:30not be too bad. As we go into tonight, frost will form very
0:45:30 > 0:45:35quickly. We have got a weather front pushing in from the West. Expect
0:45:35 > 0:45:41some snow in Northern Ireland. By the end of the night, the snow
0:45:41 > 0:45:47becomes that bit more extensive. Tomorrow morning, Arbeiter start to
0:45:47 > 0:45:53the south and east. Elsewhere -- elsewhere, parts of seven --
0:45:53 > 0:45:59southern and Central Scotland, a few issues for the rush-hour. Rain
0:45:59 > 0:46:05further south with a little bit of sleet mixed in. It does clear off
0:46:05 > 0:46:09its way eastwards. Brighter skies into the West. It's going to be a
0:46:09 > 0:46:13rather chilly feeling date. Some pretty strong winds touching gale
0:46:13 > 0:46:21force in places. That leads to frost and ice to take us through the night
0:46:21 > 0:46:26into Wednesday morning. Strong to gale force winds. This time, snow
0:46:26 > 0:46:31may be limited. Outbreaks of rain coming and going through the day.
0:46:31 > 0:46:36It's not going to be the best of days on Wednesday. Temperatures will
0:46:36 > 0:46:44be on the rise. 11 degrees towards the south-west of the country. Then
0:46:44 > 0:46:47through Wednesday into Thursday, that weather system gets out of the
0:46:47 > 0:46:52way. It might linger with cloud but the most, back to sunny spells on
0:46:52 > 0:46:59Thursday. A few snow showers around but a lot of dry and bright weather
0:46:59 > 0:47:04as well. Don't forget, you won't have the wind quite as strong as we
0:47:04 > 0:47:09will have seen them. It's still going to be a bit chilly by the end
0:47:09 > 0:47:15of the week. Nothing too untoward. We got a bit of a cloudy day to come
0:47:15 > 0:47:19on Wednesday. Some snow through tomorrow morning. Some try and
0:47:19 > 0:47:21bright weather to get out and enjoy.
0:47:26 > 0:47:29An inquiry is being launched into the imminent collapse
0:47:29 > 0:47:31of the East Coast Rail franchise.
0:47:31 > 0:47:35Steph has more on what's gone wrong and what it means for passengers.
0:47:35 > 0:47:38We're talking about the railway line from London through to Edinburgh
0:47:38 > 0:47:42and onto Aberdeen.
0:47:42 > 0:47:45It's a line that has changed hands a lot in recent
0:47:45 > 0:47:50years and that is the problem.
0:47:50 > 0:47:54For a long, time it was run by GNER.
0:47:54 > 0:47:56But in 2007 it got into financial difficulties
0:47:56 > 0:48:01and the franchise to run the line was handed to National Express.
0:48:01 > 0:48:04Then at the height of the financial crisis in 2009
0:48:04 > 0:48:06there were more problems and the service was re-nationalised
0:48:06 > 0:48:13and put under the control of a government backed operator.
0:48:13 > 0:48:21Fast forward to 2015, the coalition government reprivatised it.
0:48:23 > 0:48:28This time handing the keys to Virgin Trains East Coast
0:48:28 > 0:48:3190% owned by Stagecoach and 10% owned by Richard Branson's Virgin
0:48:31 > 0:48:33Group.
0:48:33 > 0:48:36The consortium paid over £3 billion to operate the franchise until 2023.
0:48:36 > 0:48:39But now they say they're running out of money.
0:48:39 > 0:48:41And that passenger numbers have been much lower than predicted.
0:48:41 > 0:48:44So what will it mean for passengers?
0:48:44 > 0:48:49Tony Miles is from Modern Railways Magazine.
0:48:50 > 0:48:55When you hear all that about hammy times has changed hands, what is
0:48:55 > 0:49:00going on? Why is it such a problem? It appears the most difficult thing
0:49:00 > 0:49:05is predicting passenger numbers. East -- each of those businesses
0:49:05 > 0:49:08which is about to end have been profitable businesses. The struggle
0:49:08 > 0:49:13they are having to make the extra premium and they have committed in
0:49:13 > 0:49:16their bids. Part of that is you are trying to predict what people will
0:49:16 > 0:49:22do a lot -- on the long-distance railway. That is difficult. There is
0:49:22 > 0:49:29no big part of the Lok tin market. It's not like a commuter railway.
0:49:29 > 0:49:32The business market, the long-distance market is vague and
0:49:32 > 0:49:40it's not grown in the way that each of the companies expected it to do.
0:49:40 > 0:49:43Because of this, ministers are saying this franchise could collapse
0:49:43 > 0:49:48within a matter of months but what does it mean?Initially Stagecoach
0:49:48 > 0:49:52has been propping up the business and would put in about £200 million
0:49:52 > 0:49:58of its money. They are not running away from it initially. The most
0:49:58 > 0:50:03important thing is, the trains will never stop running. The government
0:50:03 > 0:50:07has two options. It can transfer the business back to a group of
0:50:07 > 0:50:11companies which is appointed to take over, which is operator last resort.
0:50:11 > 0:50:18Or it is looking at whether they would ask Stagecoach virgin to carry
0:50:18 > 0:50:25on. That is quite keen. The team that is running it has come top of
0:50:25 > 0:50:32the national survey of satisfaction. The actual company performance is
0:50:32 > 0:50:39doing a fine job. It's the finances behind it.It's not something that
0:50:39 > 0:50:41passengers to use that Hyam -- that line
0:50:41 > 0:50:44passengers to use that Hyam -- that line would want.There will always
0:50:44 > 0:50:48be someone to step in and take over if the business operating cannot
0:50:48 > 0:50:53continue. The trains will still be there on the day.And is it likely
0:50:53 > 0:51:01someone else will want to run it? As you said, it is a profitable line.
0:51:01 > 0:51:05There is a view the government is finally waking up to the idea that
0:51:05 > 0:51:09you don't let rail contracts that -- contracts on the promise of running
0:51:09 > 0:51:14it. The new south-western railway contract that started last August --
0:51:14 > 0:51:19last August as breakpoints as to whether promise should be rethought
0:51:19 > 0:51:27and they are now looking at the quality of promises. The re-electing
0:51:27 > 0:51:33of it will be a different way of looking at financial promises.That
0:51:33 > 0:51:37is it to me right now.
0:51:37 > 0:51:40She's one of our best loved stars whose been in everything
0:51:40 > 0:51:42from Paddington 2 to Absolutely Fabulous.
0:51:42 > 0:51:44But on Sunday, Joanna Lumley takes on a new role.
0:51:44 > 0:51:47She's taking over from Stephen Fry as the host
0:51:47 > 0:51:48of the Bafta Film Awards.
0:51:48 > 0:51:52Naga caught up with her to find out how she was feeling ahead
0:51:52 > 0:51:57of the big event.
0:51:57 > 0:52:02Joanna Lumley, thank you so much talking to us. To be here. A pledge
0:52:02 > 0:52:08to have it.How excited are you? So excited and thrilled. It was such an
0:52:08 > 0:52:12honour to be asked and I said yes with a beating heart, rang up
0:52:12 > 0:52:18Stephen Fry he was a friend of mine anyway...Thank you.He said he was
0:52:18 > 0:52:23thrilled and that nobody ever complained, an awards ceremony is
0:52:23 > 0:52:28too short. And the second thing is to keep it tight and entertaining
0:52:28 > 0:52:34and light. My job is just to be a host of which is hello, welcome,
0:52:34 > 0:52:39blah blah blah. And then you say and to present the first award is...
0:52:39 > 0:52:44Swap come to massive movie stars in my job is like a headmistress. Off
0:52:44 > 0:52:50you go, next category.What are you going to bring to it? What is that
0:52:50 > 0:52:55Joanna Lumley touch?I'm going to bring address.What colour? Black.
0:52:55 > 0:53:00What do you think of the campaign to wear black to stand up to inequality
0:53:00 > 0:53:06and harassment.It combines a whole lot of things. In the Royal Albert
0:53:06 > 0:53:10Hall, the 100 years that the suffragettes are signs that things
0:53:10 > 0:53:15so that people over 30 could get the vote for the first time is that is
0:53:15 > 0:53:19hugely powerful and strong and it bounced on through people, women
0:53:19 > 0:53:23being allowed to work in munitions factories in the war and bouncing
0:53:23 > 0:53:28off this, the times up thing. And I hope this is opening windows and
0:53:28 > 0:53:32flooding light into every part of our industry and all all
0:53:32 > 0:53:36professions. So that we can now look forward into the outer world, the
0:53:36 > 0:53:40greater world, to wider countries and cultures, where women are
0:53:40 > 0:53:51appallingly treated. Really abused and marginalised. That great
0:53:51 > 0:53:56strength, that men are looking forward to the injuries to women in
0:53:56 > 0:54:05the greater world. This is terrific. How did your Internet date go at the
0:54:05 > 0:54:10weekend?I got more than I bargained for. He showed up with his wife in
0:54:10 > 0:54:17tow. It turns out I kicked kicked swinging in the of swimming. It's a
0:54:17 > 0:54:23lovely story, a late flowering love story, an unexpected love story. A
0:54:23 > 0:54:29family, an abrasive thing which is resolved. All that is set against
0:54:29 > 0:54:33the backdrop of a senior citizens dance class. We have seen it on
0:54:33 > 0:54:41strictly. The audiences watch it. The people have been it, you've met
0:54:41 > 0:54:49it, they are bewitched by dance. Many older people will get out and
0:54:49 > 0:54:57cure their loneliness and inability by going to dance classes. I hope it
0:54:57 > 0:55:02works because we all absolutely adored it. We have been talent
0:55:02 > 0:55:07spotted. We are going to Rome, city of lovers. Would you be on the
0:55:07 > 0:55:11dancefloor?My won't dance. I would have to dance with him.That's an
0:55:11 > 0:55:18idea. I dance but I don't go to many dance parties.I wish you all the
0:55:18 > 0:55:25best for the Baftas.Thank you indeed. Thank you.She is going to
0:55:25 > 0:55:26be excellent at it.
0:55:26 > 0:55:32The BAFTAs are on BBC One this Sunday at 9pm.
0:55:32 > 0:55:35A slightly longer version later.
0:55:35 > 0:55:42Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.
0:55:45 > 0:55:50Like normally how you have a body in you work out who they are and who
0:55:50 > 0:55:55might want to kill them? That's the procedure. If you say so.
0:55:55 > 0:56:03This time, we don't know who is meant to have been killed.
0:56:03 > 0:56:11A race against time to find the truth. We will speak to the stars of
0:56:11 > 0:59:34the latest crime thriller Collateral.
0:59:34 > 0:59:35of the week.
0:59:35 > 0:59:37More travel news on BBC Radio London.
1:00:14 > 1:00:15Hello.
1:00:15 > 1:00:15Good morning.
1:00:15 > 1:00:18This is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.
1:00:18 > 1:00:20Oxfam comes under increasing pressure, as the charity's bosses
1:00:20 > 1:00:23try to convince government ministers they should keep millions of pounds
1:00:23 > 1:00:24of public funding.
1:00:24 > 1:00:27The aid agency will have to say what it knew about allegations
1:00:27 > 1:00:31of sexual misconduct by some of its staff in Haiti and what it's
1:00:31 > 1:00:39doing to stop it happening again.
1:00:49 > 1:00:50Good morning.
1:00:50 > 1:00:51It's Monday the 12th of February.
1:00:51 > 1:00:53Also this morning: Oh, something just fell.
1:00:55 > 1:00:58Three British tourists who died in a helicopter crash
1:00:58 > 1:01:00in the Grand Canyon are named by US police.
1:01:00 > 1:01:02Three other Britons were injured.
1:01:02 > 1:01:03Details of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's
1:01:03 > 1:01:04wedding are announced.
1:01:04 > 1:01:07A midday ceremony means it's unlikely to clash with the FA
1:01:07 > 1:01:08Cup final.
1:01:08 > 1:01:11Good morning.
1:01:11 > 1:01:15Three years after it was introduced, only 2% of eligible fathers have
1:01:15 > 1:01:17taken up shared parental leave, that's according to government
1:01:17 > 1:01:18figures out this morning.
1:01:18 > 1:01:26I'll be finding out why.
1:01:26 > 1:01:34Good morning.
1:01:34 > 1:01:38Conditions at the winter Olympics are causing problems. The women's
1:01:38 > 1:01:45slope style went ahead as planned, but was that the correct choice?
1:01:45 > 1:01:48And Matt's admiring the snowdrops at RHS Wisley.
1:01:48 > 1:01:50Good morning.
1:01:50 > 1:01:50Good morning.
1:01:50 > 1:01:56After clear skies during the night, a frosty start to Monday morning.
1:01:56 > 1:02:05Snow showers in the west, but also icy. The full forecast in 15
1:02:05 > 1:02:09minutes. Take care on the roads. They will
1:02:09 > 1:02:09minutes. Take care on the roads. They will be
1:02:09 > 1:02:12They will be slippery.
1:02:12 > 1:02:12Good morning.
1:02:12 > 1:02:13First, our main story.
1:02:13 > 1:02:16Senior officials at Oxfam will today try to convince
1:02:16 > 1:02:18the International Development Secretary that they should
1:02:18 > 1:02:20keep their millions of pounds a year in government funding
1:02:20 > 1:02:23despite the revelation that aid workers used prostitutes in Haiti
1:02:23 > 1:02:24after the devastating earthquake there.
1:02:24 > 1:02:27The charity's been accused of concealing the full findings
1:02:27 > 1:02:29of an investigation in 2011 which resulted in seven
1:02:29 > 1:02:30sackings and resignations.
1:02:30 > 1:02:32Oxfam denies claims of a cover-up.
1:02:32 > 1:02:36Our diplomatic correspondent, James Landale, reports.
1:02:36 > 1:02:39The allegations of sexual misconduct by Oxfam aid workers in Haiti
1:02:39 > 1:02:41in 2011 have threatened not just the charity's reputation,
1:02:41 > 1:02:45but also the £32 million it gets each year from the government.
1:02:45 > 1:02:46The International Development Secretary, Penny Mordaunt,
1:02:46 > 1:02:49has threatened to withhold the cash, unless Oxfam shows the moral
1:02:49 > 1:02:52leadership she thinks it's lacked in the way its handled
1:02:52 > 1:02:54the scandal thus far.
1:02:54 > 1:02:57The charity has been accused of covering up the full scale
1:02:57 > 1:02:59of the allegations, that includes staff holding
1:02:59 > 1:03:00parties with prostitutes.
1:03:00 > 1:03:03Today, Ms Mordaunt will meet senior figures from the charity and ask
1:03:03 > 1:03:05them to hand over everything they know about past
1:03:05 > 1:03:06and current abuses.
1:03:06 > 1:03:10I'm affording them the opportunity to tell me in person what they did
1:03:10 > 1:03:13after these events, and I'm going to be looking to see
1:03:13 > 1:03:15if they are displaying the moral leadership that I think
1:03:15 > 1:03:17they need to now.
1:03:17 > 1:03:20Ms Mordaunt wants to know more about the concerns staff had
1:03:20 > 1:03:21about the recruitment of workers in Haiti,
1:03:21 > 1:03:25and she wants to know what Oxfam is doing to stop it
1:03:25 > 1:03:26ever happening again.
1:03:26 > 1:03:28Ms Mordaunt will also meet the Charity Commission to discuss
1:03:28 > 1:03:31what more can be done to regulate non-governmental organisations.
1:03:31 > 1:03:34Oxfam has apologised and says it will take further action to improve
1:03:34 > 1:03:36the safeguarding, vetting and recruitment of staff.
1:03:36 > 1:03:44James Landale, BBC News.
1:04:02 > 1:04:05In a few moments' time, we'll be speaking to the boss of Save the

1:09:56 > 1:09:59Kevin Watkins is the Chief Executive of Save the Children,
1:09:59 > 1:10:06and joins us from our London studio.
1:10:06 > 1:10:12Good morning.Good morning.Thank you for joining us. Could you give
1:10:12 > 1:10:15us your views and comments and confirm with us these reports, 31
1:10:15 > 1:10:23allegations of sexual
1:10:23 > 1:10:26allegations of sexual misconduct at Save the Children in the past year.
1:10:26 > 1:10:30Is that the case?Let me start by saying we are outraged at the
1:10:30 > 1:10:34reports out of Haiti. The figure you are citing is a figure we reported
1:10:34 > 1:10:37on, that we publicly disclosed. These were cases of sexual
1:10:37 > 1:10:42harassment that we investigated, 31 cases. We acted on 16 of them and
1:10:42 > 1:10:48handed the dossier on ten of them over to legal authorities. Now, this
1:10:48 > 1:10:53is an example of a system working. This is us subjecting our
1:10:53 > 1:10:57organisation to the greatest possible scrutiny precisely in order
1:10:57 > 1:11:02to protect these vulnerable women and children that our staff are
1:11:02 > 1:11:07working with on the front line in Syria, in South Sudan, with Rohingya
1:11:07 > 1:11:12refugees, in Cox's Bazar, and other places.Can you give us details of
1:11:12 > 1:11:17the 16 people. Where they dismissed as a result of this? What happened?
1:11:17 > 1:11:23All 16 were dismissed. Ten of the cases we regarded as sufficiently
1:11:23 > 1:11:27serious to hand the dossier over to legal authorities, either in the
1:11:27 > 1:11:31country of which the offence took place or to the host country.What
1:11:31 > 1:11:38happened with the ten tasers? Were they prosecuted?The ten cases we
1:11:38 > 1:11:43handed over to legal authorities, those investigations are ongoing by
1:11:43 > 1:11:47legal authorities. We will certainly provide all and any evidence legal
1:11:47 > 1:11:54authorities require. What we have to face up to see is that we have a
1:11:54 > 1:11:59problem across institutions of powerful men abusing their position.
1:11:59 > 1:12:04We have a responsibility because of the vulnerability of the people we
1:12:04 > 1:12:09are working with. These are people... I was in Cox's Bazar in
1:12:09 > 1:12:14Bangladesh a few weeks ago, these are people who have lost everything,
1:12:14 > 1:12:18impoverished, traumatised. We need to protect them from the predatory
1:12:18 > 1:12:21people who will try to enter our organisation. We have very tough
1:12:21 > 1:12:26background checks. But we have to come together as a sector to work
1:12:26 > 1:12:29collectively to ensure that these people do not get into our
1:12:29 > 1:12:32organisations, but they do not get access to these incredibly
1:12:32 > 1:12:37vulnerable populations.Are you saying then that charities are being
1:12:37 > 1:12:42targeted by predators?Well, I think many institutions are being targeted
1:12:42 > 1:12:46by predators, and that includes us. That is why we have introduced
1:12:46 > 1:12:49incredible era bust background checks. We have the same background
1:12:49 > 1:12:55checks for humanitarian employment that any teacher in the UK would
1:12:55 > 1:13:00face. We have incredibly strong whistleblowing in place. Were also
1:13:00 > 1:13:05proposing that has a sector we establish a registry of workers,
1:13:05 > 1:13:09humanitarian workers. We introduce a sort of passport system, if you
1:13:09 > 1:13:14like. If there is any indication of an offence, that passport will be
1:13:14 > 1:13:19withdrawn. We have also set out measures which we have put to the
1:13:19 > 1:13:21department for International Development of how we could come
1:13:21 > 1:13:24together to make sure that we support the victims, that we are
1:13:24 > 1:13:29quickly and decisively acting in these occasions, and we discharge
1:13:29 > 1:13:34our responsibility to these people, and to the UK public, and the UK
1:13:34 > 1:13:38government which gives us the finance that we need to make a
1:13:38 > 1:13:41difference in their lives.I want to go back to something you talked
1:13:41 > 1:13:45about, these vulnerable women and children that charities work with.
1:13:45 > 1:13:49Are you saying that they have been victims in this?Well, I think there
1:13:49 > 1:13:54is no, there is absolute in question there are risks. When risks arrive,
1:13:54 > 1:13:59we have a child safeguarding team. We have teams that will investigate
1:13:59 > 1:14:04with proper rigour any complaint that is made. And if we regard the
1:14:04 > 1:14:08complaint as sufficiently serious, it will be referred to serious
1:14:08 > 1:14:13authorities. We will pass the dossier to the police, we will
1:14:13 > 1:14:16contact the Charity Commission and provide full disclosure to them. We
1:14:16 > 1:14:21are an organisation... We have over 70,000 staff working on 100
1:14:21 > 1:14:27countries. -- 17,000. Many are, effectively, they have no
1:14:27 > 1:14:31government. These are areas controlled by warlords, warring
1:14:31 > 1:14:36factions. It is inevitable that there are threats and risks facing
1:14:36 > 1:14:40vulnerable people, and our staff... You know, we lost four of my
1:14:40 > 1:14:48colleagues in Afghanistan working on the frontline trying to provide a
1:14:48 > 1:14:55education to Pakistanis. These are the people who reflect the real
1:14:55 > 1:14:59values of my organisation and our sector. I want to make sure we
1:14:59 > 1:15:05project and respect their values. One last question about...
1:15:05 > 1:15:10Financially, I read concerned about the impact this could have, both
1:15:10 > 1:15:14from government funding and members of the public?I am absolute
1:15:14 > 1:15:19confidence we have some of the strongest most robust systems in
1:15:19 > 1:15:25place that it is possible to design. I am confident we are enforcing both
1:15:25 > 1:15:31systems effectively. And I am also confident the British public knows
1:15:31 > 1:15:34how difficult this is. This is an incredible it difficult thing to do.
1:15:34 > 1:15:39We are trying to do the right thing, fighting for children at the sharp
1:15:39 > 1:15:43end of the opportunity divide in our world. I think the public will look
1:15:43 > 1:15:48at what we do, they will judge us on our results. And our results include
1:15:48 > 1:15:52reaching over 60 million children in the last year alone.Kevin Watkins,
1:15:52 > 1:16:02thank you.
1:16:02 > 1:16:07It's a bit chilly out there in places which would you like to see a
1:16:07 > 1:16:13beautiful sunrise? That is RHS Wisley, when that has the weather.
1:16:13 > 1:16:20Doesn't it look spectacular? A beautiful start to the morning. Of
1:16:20 > 1:16:23course, the earlier sunrise, it means that spring is not too far
1:16:23 > 1:16:31away. They've been peering across the country. The RHS have been
1:16:31 > 1:16:37telling us that snowdrops are appearing earlier and earlier. They
1:16:37 > 1:16:44never made their first appearance since debris. Some varieties
1:16:44 > 1:16:50appeared all the way back in December. Even with the hint of
1:16:50 > 1:16:56spring in the air, which are still has us in its grips. A light start
1:16:56 > 1:17:01are many but it is a frosty one. We've seen some showers through the
1:17:01 > 1:17:08night. The story of sunshine and showers today. There could be a bit
1:17:08 > 1:17:12of sleet and snow mixed in. We've got that at the moment in parts of
1:17:12 > 1:17:19Scotland, and Northern Ireland. Many central and eastern areas start the
1:17:19 > 1:17:24day dry with some sunshine. Lots of sunshine to take a sober way through
1:17:24 > 1:17:32the as well. Let's take a look at the quick detail. Many areas staying
1:17:32 > 1:17:43dry. Rain, sleet, hail showers. The snow continues to get a few
1:17:43 > 1:17:48centimetres here and there. Temperatures still down in single
1:17:48 > 1:17:54figures. Given the fact the winners with a bit light than yesterday, it
1:17:54 > 1:17:59might not be as chilly as it did. Temperatures will drop away quite
1:17:59 > 1:18:07quickly. The weather front is going to push in. It will take us into
1:18:07 > 1:18:14tomorrow morning. Even to lower levels, Scotland and the far north
1:18:14 > 1:18:18of England, we could see snow causing problems for the morning
1:18:18 > 1:18:26commute. Some parts of the high ground of Scotland and northern
1:18:26 > 1:18:35England. Frosty and bright. Producing snow over the hills of the
1:18:35 > 1:18:39north and even a few flakes mixed in. There is going to be rain more
1:18:39 > 1:18:43than anything else. Brightening up through the afternoon. It should be
1:18:43 > 1:18:50better into the day then we start. Factoring in the wind, snow in
1:18:50 > 1:18:57places. It's going to feel rather cold. A frosty and icy night will
1:18:57 > 1:19:01follow while we have a bit of sunshine around the far south-east,
1:19:01 > 1:19:07a lot of cloud on Wednesday. Strong to gale force winds, maybe severe
1:19:07 > 1:19:13gale force in places. Any slow limited to the higher ground.
1:19:13 > 1:19:18Temperatures up to about 11 degrees. The temperatures drop a little bit
1:19:18 > 1:19:23for Thursday. Overnight cloud clears away. Sunshine back the many on
1:19:23 > 1:19:28Thursday. There will be some snow showers pushing back into the
1:19:28 > 1:19:32north-west the UK. Temperatures down a little bit on Wednesday that many
1:19:32 > 1:19:40should see some sunshine once again. A lovely, lovely start. When he got
1:19:40 > 1:19:44clear skies to start the day, the coldest part of the night, the
1:19:44 > 1:19:49morning is half an hour after sunrise. Still another 45 minutes to
1:19:49 > 1:19:52go until you see those temperatures rise.
1:19:52 > 1:19:55go until you see those temperatures rise.There is nothing like being on
1:19:55 > 1:20:04an outside broadcast. I did not know that.I just know it by bitter
1:20:04 > 1:20:07experience.
1:20:07 > 1:20:11We often hear about children's academic performance
1:20:11 > 1:20:12at school being measured.
1:20:12 > 1:20:15What you might not realise is that, in England and Wales,
1:20:15 > 1:20:16their weight is also under review.
1:20:16 > 1:20:19In a bid to tackle childhood obesity, Public Health England
1:20:19 > 1:20:22weighs every child as they join and leave primary school.
1:20:22 > 1:20:24But statistics don't tell the whole story -
1:20:24 > 1:20:27and when one mother received a letter to say that her cricket-mad
1:20:27 > 1:20:30daughter was "very overweight", she chose to speak out.
1:20:30 > 1:20:37Her name is Gill and she joins us now, with her daughter Daisy.
1:20:37 > 1:20:47Good morning to you. Thank you to all of you for joining us. Tel is a
1:20:47 > 1:20:52little bit about the letter, Gill. It was addressed to you but you
1:20:52 > 1:21:00chose to share it with Daisy.It was quite detailed, had a pie chart and
1:21:00 > 1:21:04I could see her expression when she done it so put it to one side and
1:21:04 > 1:21:09said, that is a load of rubbish, don't at it. I could tell she was
1:21:09 > 1:21:16really upset by looking at it. Daisy, talked to be about cricket.
1:21:16 > 1:21:26You love cricket. Did this but are put to a little bit? Why?I felt
1:21:26 > 1:21:32like I was not like fitting in.Did you stop playing cricket for a
1:21:32 > 1:21:37while? I know you are good at cricket in you love it. You are back
1:21:37 > 1:21:43plating. That is really devastating to hear. But that sort of letter has
1:21:43 > 1:21:48that sort of impact.It's not good. It's had the adverse effect. She
1:21:48 > 1:21:55stopped eating Breakfast as well. With good parents behind her, she is
1:21:55 > 1:22:23back on track.Very glad to hear it. We can take a step back to a minute.
1:22:23 > 1:22:27A couple of years ago came from just measuring children and communicating
1:22:27 > 1:22:32it with parents.In this case, it's had unintended consequences. I've
1:22:32 > 1:22:38seen that as well.
1:22:38 > 1:22:41seen that as well. A lot of parents were angry to receive letters like
1:22:41 > 1:22:45this. One of the problems with the letter, depending on where you live,
1:22:45 > 1:22:51there will be different access to services. When I had a look at it,
1:22:51 > 1:23:00it was basically just directing to a website, and clearly your daughter,
1:23:00 > 1:23:03you were very active already. It's quite demoralising. The other
1:23:03 > 1:23:08problem with these letters is, we are looking at obesity is a very
1:23:08 > 1:23:12simple problem. Eat more healthily and do more exercise but I can tell
1:23:12 > 1:23:16you, there are plenty of parents who are already doing that gets their
1:23:16 > 1:23:21children are overweight and obese. Not talking about this case,
1:23:21 > 1:23:26generally across the country. There are other factors that to obesity.
1:23:26 > 1:23:34We have spoken about this before, sleep and stress and relaxation.
1:23:34 > 1:23:38Apparently our gut health, the amount of antibiotics we might be
1:23:38 > 1:23:42having as a child, that could change their gut bacteria and more prone to
1:23:42 > 1:23:47obesity.
1:23:50 > 1:23:56obesity. While I understand this, it's causing a lot of half a lot of
1:23:56 > 1:24:03families.
1:24:03 > 1:24:07families.I got a letter saying my son was overweight. Within a week,
1:24:07 > 1:24:13he had a massive growth spurt. I appreciate what you are coming from,
1:24:13 > 1:24:17Gill, is address an issue across society and maybe not every case
1:24:17 > 1:24:23will get it right. Can you see where they are coming from?Yes, but they
1:24:23 > 1:24:26send this letter, and it's not really nice. You don't get a chance
1:24:26 > 1:24:30to say what the child is doing actively, if it is a medical
1:24:30 > 1:24:34condition. You don't get a chance to say anything, you just get sent this
1:24:34 > 1:24:39letter and bring them up and they are not helpful.What is really
1:24:39 > 1:24:46important is that in some areas.
1:24:47 > 1:24:58important is that in some areas.I do think that was the case.
1:24:58 > 1:25:04do think that was the case. I absolutely accept your point. There
1:25:04 > 1:25:12is not one case in isolation. What sort of damage can I do? A child
1:25:12 > 1:25:20thinking at that age they have an issue. I think to be a little bit
1:25:20 > 1:25:28careful.So you are back playing cricket? I am a legspinner.Are you
1:25:28 > 1:25:35dangerous? Yes.Who is your favourite legspinner? Do you like
1:25:35 > 1:25:43Shane warn?Not really. I don't know.Have you got a variation on
1:25:43 > 1:25:57your leg spin?I don't know.What would've helped more, having the
1:25:57 > 1:26:01letter at all?I didn't get the chance to opt out of it. It just got
1:26:01 > 1:26:06sent to me and I wouldn't have opted in. If the schools had nurses in
1:26:06 > 1:26:11them that you could go to, and talk to, rather than getting a letter,
1:26:11 > 1:26:17that would have been more helpful. Thank you very much. Thank you very
1:26:17 > 1:26:22much indeed good luck the sport. Thank you to some of your messages,
1:26:22 > 1:26:26we will get through some of those a little bit later. I hope you
1:26:26 > 1:26:29continue to enjoy your cricket.
1:26:29 > 1:26:32You can see more on this tonight on BBC Inside Out on BBC1
1:26:32 > 1:26:35in the south at 7.30pm and everywhere else on the iPlayer
1:26:35 > 1:26:42afterwards.
1:26:42 > 1:30:04News, travel and weather where you are.
1:30:04 > 1:30:05of the week.
1:30:05 > 1:30:07Back in half an hour.
1:30:12 > 1:30:13Hello.
1:30:13 > 1:30:15This is Breakfast with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.
1:30:15 > 1:30:16Welcome back.
1:30:16 > 1:30:19We'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment,
1:30:19 > 1:30:21but also on Breakfast this morning.
1:30:21 > 1:30:22As fresh reports emerge of charities investigating staff over sexual
1:30:24 > 1:30:26The head of Save the Children has told this programme
1:30:26 > 1:30:29that the organisation has robust safeguarding measures in place,
1:30:29 > 1:30:30despite having investigated 31 cases of sexual misconduct last year.
1:30:30 > 1:30:32Today, another charity, Oxfam, is having crisis meetings
1:30:32 > 1:30:35with the government over whether it should keep millions of pounds
1:30:35 > 1:30:38a year in taxpayer funding after it emerged aid workers used
1:30:38 > 1:30:46prostitutes in Haiti.
1:30:46 > 1:30:48Save the Children said they fully disclosed their actions
1:30:48 > 1:30:55to the Charity Commission.
1:30:55 > 1:30:57These were cases of sexual harassment that we investigated,
1:30:57 > 1:30:5831 cases.
1:30:58 > 1:31:02We acted on 16 of them and handed the dossier on ten of them
1:31:02 > 1:31:05over to legal authorities.
1:31:06 > 1:31:08Now, this is an example of a system working.
1:31:08 > 1:31:11This is us subjecting our organisation to the greatest
1:31:11 > 1:31:14possible scrutiny precisely in order to protect these vulnerable women
1:31:14 > 1:31:17and children that our staff are working with on the front line
1:31:17 > 1:31:19in Syria, in South Sudan, with Rohingya
1:31:19 > 1:31:21refugees, in Cox's Bazar, and other places.
1:31:21 > 1:31:24And we will asking the Charity Commission about what they knew
1:31:24 > 1:31:25about these allegations.
1:31:25 > 1:31:30Let's just after 8am. So stay with us for that.
1:31:30 > 1:31:33Three British tourists have been killed in a helicopter crash
1:31:33 > 1:31:34in the United States.
1:31:34 > 1:31:37It happened on a sightseeing trip in the Grand Canyon.
1:31:37 > 1:31:39They've been named by police in Arizona as 27-year-old,
1:31:39 > 1:31:41Becky Dobson, Jason Hill, who was 32, and 30-year-old,
1:31:41 > 1:31:42Stuart Hill.
1:31:42 > 1:31:44Three other British nationals and the pilot were injured.
1:31:44 > 1:31:47Our first responders had a 20 minute hike,
1:31:47 > 1:31:4920 minute hike, to get to the scene.
1:31:49 > 1:31:50They were right on...
1:31:50 > 1:31:53We were notified of the crash at 540, and first responders
1:31:53 > 1:31:55were on the scene within the first 30 minutes.
1:31:55 > 1:32:03And we attribute that quick response to what helped save lives.
1:32:06 > 1:32:09Russian investigators are searching fields near Moscow to try to find
1:32:09 > 1:32:12out what caused a crash killed in all people on board.
1:32:12 > 1:32:14It went down just a few minutes after taking off
1:32:14 > 1:32:15yesterday afternoon.
1:32:15 > 1:32:17They are considering mechanical issues, human
1:32:17 > 1:32:25failure, I did not mention the possibility of terrorism.
1:32:32 > 1:32:35Theresa May and the Irish Prime Minister, Leo Varadkar,
1:32:35 > 1:32:37are to visit Belfast today for talks with
1:32:37 > 1:32:38Northern Ireland's main parties.
1:32:38 > 1:32:41There are growing indications a deal is close that would see
1:32:41 > 1:32:42devolved government restored.
1:32:42 > 1:32:45Northern Ireland has been run by civil servants since the power
1:32:45 > 1:32:53sharing agreement between Sinn Fein and the DUP collapsed last January.
1:32:54 > 1:32:57Kensington Palace has announced more details about the wedding
1:32:57 > 1:33:00of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at Windsor Castle on the nineteenth
1:33:00 > 1:33:00of May.
1:33:00 > 1:33:03The service, in St George's Chapel, will begin at midday,
1:33:03 > 1:33:06which means it is unlikely to clash with the FA Cup Final.
1:33:06 > 1:33:08It's been confirmed that the Archbishop of Canterbury
1:33:08 > 1:33:11will marry the couple, and that the Dean of Windsor
1:33:11 > 1:33:12will conduct the service.
1:33:12 > 1:33:14800 guests will be there.
1:33:14 > 1:33:16The newlyweds will then embark on a short carriage procession
1:33:16 > 1:33:24around Windsor at one o'clock.
1:33:24 > 1:33:33That is quite a few guests. Should be all right.You are upset.Surely
1:33:33 > 1:33:38you look at all of the sporting occasions through the year when
1:33:38 > 1:33:46planning a wedding, and then you take that into account.
1:33:47 > 1:33:49take that into account.From a personal perspective, 12 o'clock,
1:33:49 > 1:33:54Saturday, BBC One, that is our spot! They will not move it for you.I
1:33:54 > 1:34:05have been
1:34:07 > 1:34:10have been informed Football Focus has been moved from 3pm. Perhaps we
1:34:10 > 1:34:13can have that. Perhaps Prince William has it all planned.
1:34:13 > 1:34:17Reception, helicopter to Wembley, gives out the trophy at half past
1:34:17 > 1:34:31seven, and back to it all.Give us a call, Harry.
1:34:31 > 1:34:38call, Harry. It is pretty cold here. Now imagine how cold air is over
1:34:38 > 1:34:46there. Minus 16! Events have been delayed. It looks just incredible.
1:34:46 > 1:34:54It looks gorgeous.
1:34:54 > 1:35:02It looks gorgeous. Team GB's Aimee Fuller has been in the slope styles.
1:35:02 > 1:35:06But just to give you a bit of an idea what exactly "slopestyle"
1:35:06 > 1:35:06involves,
1:35:06 > 1:35:08it's essentially an obstacle course for snowboarders.
1:35:08 > 1:35:11They need to navigate a variety of rails and jumps.
1:35:11 > 1:35:13Competitors are scored on the quality of their tricks,
1:35:13 > 1:35:14including spins and flips.
1:35:14 > 1:35:17It's a relatively new sport, only becoming part of the Winter
1:35:17 > 1:35:19Olympics in Sochi in 2014.
1:35:19 > 1:35:20So, how did she get on?
1:35:20 > 1:35:24Let's join Katherine, Downes who's in Pyeongchang this morning.
1:35:24 > 1:35:32You are wrapped up very warmly. Good morning.Yes. All of the layers are
1:35:32 > 1:35:38on.
1:35:38 > 1:35:42on. It is -16? No, try -26. That's what it is today. Especially near
1:35:42 > 1:35:48the slope styles. The wind has caused the most chaos. Some events
1:35:48 > 1:35:52were completely cancelled yesterday. All 27 competitors went in the final
1:35:52 > 1:35:59today. Among them, Great Britain's Aimee Fuller. I will talk about her
1:35:59 > 1:36:04later.
1:36:05 > 1:36:08later. First, Sochi gold-medallist, Jenny Jones. How did these
1:36:08 > 1:36:14conditions affect snowboarders? Some were saying perhaps the final should
1:36:14 > 1:36:20not have gone ahead. The girls did not get to showcase their abilities.
1:36:20 > 1:36:26They absolutely did not get to show their ability. Four years ago, it
1:36:26 > 1:36:30looks like the tricks were the same, the standard is the same, but it is
1:36:30 > 1:36:34not. These girls are great. It is so unfortunate to be that wind was so
1:36:34 > 1:36:39gusty and strong that I am myself was surprised they carried on the
1:36:39 > 1:36:45event. -- unfortunate.
1:36:45 > 1:36:49event. -- unfortunate.Aimee came 17th. Will see reflect well on that?
1:36:49 > 1:36:58Will see feel rubbed? -- she feel robbed.Many of them will feel
1:36:58 > 1:37:09robbed. It is pot luck. If
1:37:09 > 1:37:12robbed. It is pot luck. If you had a tail wind you arrived at the bottom,
1:37:12 > 1:37:16or up, you didn't make it. What speed do you take? Really, I felt it
1:37:16 > 1:37:22was quite dangerous.
1:37:22 > 1:37:24was quite dangerous. There must have been a team meeting, but they
1:37:24 > 1:37:27carried on.The second run was going OK. The first obstacles were
1:37:27 > 1:37:32cleared, no problem. She said it was the third jump which felt like she
1:37:32 > 1:37:38was in a wind tunnel.It looked like it. She was really solid. A
1:37:38 > 1:37:44wonderful trick off the first. She was clever, carrying her speed in.
1:37:44 > 1:37:53Then a 360, another 360, all the way around, and as she took that, it
1:37:53 > 1:37:56around, and as she took that, it was like a wind sail, just taking her to
1:37:56 > 1:38:00the ground. I am just glad she is in one piece. But we are both
1:38:00 > 1:38:03disappointed, and rightly so.It has not been the best winter Olympics
1:38:03 > 1:38:12for Tim Britain's slope
1:38:12 > 1:38:15for Tim Britain's slope stylists. But a gold medal for Jamie Anderson,
1:38:15 > 1:38:22successfully defending her gold medal from Sochi, perhaps not how
1:38:22 > 1:38:26she wanted. A dominant is she?Jamie Anderson is an absolute legend at
1:38:26 > 1:38:30snowboarding. To wind that gold medal again, the same conditions as
1:38:30 > 1:38:36everyone else, and she put it down when accounted. It may not have been
1:38:36 > 1:38:43as technical as we were hoping, with the big spins and doubles we know
1:38:43 > 1:38:48she can do, but she did the right thing on the day. She was pleased to
1:38:48 > 1:38:51get through that and happy to get a second gold. Come on, that is
1:38:51 > 1:38:56amazing.No other female snowboarder has achieved that. Thank you for
1:38:56 > 1:39:03sharing your expertise. One other gold medal, the team figures to get
1:39:03 > 1:39:15in, Canada led from start to finish. -- figure skating. They got the
1:39:15 > 1:39:18silver in Sochi and turned it into gold here. They finished it off with
1:39:18 > 1:39:23the ice dance. They did not even need to skate. The gold was already
1:39:23 > 1:39:29in the bag. Congratulations to Team Canada. Back to you for the rest of
1:39:29 > 1:39:37the sport.It does look -26. I hope she has a good coat. Live coverage
1:39:37 > 1:39:41of the Olympics continues on BBC One straight after Breakfast at quarter
1:39:41 > 1:39:45past nine.
1:39:45 > 1:39:47And back home.
1:39:47 > 1:39:51Greg Laidlaw was the main man for Scotland as they beat France
1:39:51 > 1:39:5332-26 at Murrayfield in the Six Nations.
1:39:53 > 1:39:55He scored 22 of their points, including six penalties,
1:39:55 > 1:39:58as they got their first win of this year's competition.
1:39:58 > 1:40:00They face reigning champions England at Murrayfield next,
1:40:00 > 1:40:05in two weeks' time.
1:40:05 > 1:40:08Ireland claimed their first win of this year's Women's Six Nations,
1:40:08 > 1:40:10beating Italy by 21 points to eight.
1:40:10 > 1:40:13After a failing to score a single point in their first game,
1:40:13 > 1:40:15against France, the Irish were dominant from the start,
1:40:15 > 1:40:17scoring three tries, including this, from winger,
1:40:17 > 1:40:25Megan Williams.
1:40:28 > 1:40:31Newcastle hadn't won a home game in the Premier League since October,
1:40:31 > 1:40:34but they put that right yesterday, and it was Manchester United
1:40:34 > 1:40:35who suffered.
1:40:35 > 1:40:39Matt Ritchie scored the only goal of the game to lift his side two
1:40:39 > 1:40:41points clear of the relegation zone, and leave United 16
1:40:41 > 1:40:49points behind leaders, Manchester City.
1:40:49 > 1:40:52Rangers and Aberdeen completed the line up for the quarter-finals
1:40:52 > 1:40:53of the Scottish Cup.
1:40:53 > 1:40:55Aberdeen beat Dundee United 4-2, while Rangers looked
1:40:55 > 1:40:56in trouble against Ayr.
1:40:56 > 1:40:59They were already a goal down when Alfredo Morelos missed
1:40:59 > 1:40:59an absolute sitter.
1:40:59 > 1:41:07But he did redeem himself, scoring twice in a 6-1 victory.
1:41:15 > 1:41:20A great result for them as well. More action from the Olympics later
1:41:20 > 1:41:31in the programme. It looks cold. That is part of the magic. -26. Wrap
1:41:31 > 1:41:36up and embrace it.
1:41:37 > 1:41:40When your child falls ill, most parent's first port of call
1:41:40 > 1:41:42tends to be the doctor or Accident and Emergency.
1:41:42 > 1:41:45But now, a new campaign is encouraging people
1:41:45 > 1:41:47to see their local pharmacist for minor health issues.
1:41:47 > 1:41:49NHS England says it could help save £850 million
1:41:49 > 1:41:56every year and reduce waiting times.
1:41:56 > 1:41:59Breakfast's Graham Satchell asked a group of parents
1:41:59 > 1:42:01what they would do in that situation.
1:42:01 > 1:42:06If your daughter is really deal, where would you normally take her?
1:42:06 > 1:42:14-- ill.The hospital. The pharmacy does not give advice well.Would you
1:42:14 > 1:42:19go to a pharmacist?I would. It is more accessible.Have you done that?
1:42:19 > 1:42:26Never.You go to the GP because they are qualified, not the pharmacies.
1:42:26 > 1:42:35Why not?I would not trust them. Hello, I am president of the Royal
1:42:35 > 1:42:41Pharmaceutical Society. I have been a pharmacist for 32 years. They
1:42:41 > 1:42:46trained five years, only one less than a doctor. They can deal with a
1:42:46 > 1:42:54wide range of conditions from
1:42:55 > 1:42:56wide range of conditions from coughs to colds and tummy upsets, high
1:42:56 > 1:43:01temperature, teething, many common things.I have asked the pharmacists
1:43:01 > 1:43:07for advice before when my children were small and they were ill. But I
1:43:07 > 1:43:12always go to the doctors.I have insomnia and went to the pharmacy
1:43:12 > 1:43:16and they sorted me out. It is a good first port of call.
1:43:16 > 1:43:19We're now joined by Dr Bruce Warner, Deputy Chief Pharmaceutical Officer
1:43:19 > 1:43:19for England.
1:43:19 > 1:43:25Good morning. Thank you for joining us. We will clear one of those
1:43:25 > 1:43:32points up. Someone said, and it is not correct, a GP is qualified, a
1:43:32 > 1:43:37pharmacist is not. Shall be clear that up?They are qualified. They
1:43:37 > 1:43:42trained for five years and are registered and have a code of ethics
1:43:42 > 1:43:46and are absolutely very qualified and experienced.What can a GP do
1:43:46 > 1:43:53that a pharmacist cannot do? There are distinctions.Yes. Pharmacists
1:43:53 > 1:43:59I'm not GPs. The whole point of this is to free up GPs to do what they do
1:43:59 > 1:44:04best, deal with patients that need to see a GP with more serious
1:44:04 > 1:44:10conditions. Pharmacists are able to allow that to happen by seeing
1:44:10 > 1:44:14people that have relatively minor illnesses to help them by giving
1:44:14 > 1:44:24them advice and give treatment.They cannot prescribe.Some can. Most
1:44:24 > 1:44:29community pharmacists on the high street would not, but they can give
1:44:29 > 1:44:33advice but one of the key things is a pharmacist does not have your
1:44:33 > 1:44:38medical history or that of the child. That is one of the reasons
1:44:38 > 1:44:42people would go to a doctor. Pharmacists do now have access to
1:44:42 > 1:44:48something called the summary of care record, a summary of the medicine
1:44:48 > 1:44:52people take. If they do not have access to full medical notes, they
1:44:52 > 1:44:58do have access to some information. Especially parents and carers who
1:44:58 > 1:45:02come in the pharmacies, they have a good idea about what medicines loved
1:45:02 > 1:45:05ones are taking.It is often a concern for parents. You will
1:45:05 > 1:45:10appreciate this. You worry that something that is minor in your
1:45:10 > 1:45:15child could develop into something major quite quickly. A lot of that
1:45:15 > 1:45:19is about the reassurance you get from a doctor. I have been in this
1:45:19 > 1:45:23situation with my children, though they are older now, you want a
1:45:23 > 1:45:30doctor to say it is going to be OK. It is just a rash. Would parents get
1:45:30 > 1:45:35that same level of insurance from a pharmacist?Absolutely. I am a
1:45:35 > 1:45:48parent myself. -- reassurance.
1:46:11 > 1:46:15clumsy work as part of a multidisciplinary team.We have
1:46:15 > 1:46:15technicians to
1:46:15 > 1:46:17multidisciplinary team.We have technicians to do a tremendous job.
1:46:17 > 1:46:22-- pharmacy work. I think the key to this is pharmacists being freed up
1:46:22 > 1:46:25to do what they do best and offer that clinical advice, offer their
1:46:25 > 1:46:30skills and expertise that it's a whole team approach that allows that
1:46:30 > 1:46:36to happen.Thank you for your time this morning.
1:46:36 > 1:46:40We've got a pharmacist near us who is brilliant and he's always got a
1:46:40 > 1:46:44line of people to ask for various things and is always there for
1:46:44 > 1:46:49advice, try this, but also says if there is a problem, go and sealed
1:46:49 > 1:46:55GPs or I suppose that's the right way of doing it. Absolutely. Let's
1:46:55 > 1:47:04look at this beautiful sunrise.Matt is somewhere there.
1:47:07 > 1:47:14is somewhere there. What a stunning start to the working weekend.
1:47:19 > 1:47:25start to the working weekend. A pretty chilly start of the day. I am
1:47:25 > 1:47:29here at RHS Wisley in Surrey.We
1:47:29 > 1:47:29pretty chilly start of the day. I am here at RHS Wisley in Surrey.We
1:47:29 > 1:47:33have been talking about snowdrops this morning. The fact that they
1:47:33 > 1:47:36have been getting earlier and earlier in recent decades. Given the
1:47:36 > 1:47:41fact we have seen some milder winters. This winter has been around
1:47:41 > 1:47:45where it should be. If you thought it's been quite cold, northern
1:47:45 > 1:47:48Scotland, you might be right. It's what a standard window should really
1:47:48 > 1:47:54be like. Let's take alert at the forecast for today. It is a widely
1:47:54 > 1:48:02frosty start. Most places, dry with sunny spells. A few more sleet and
1:48:02 > 1:48:05snow showers, particularly in the West were it does start icy this
1:48:05 > 1:48:11morning. Another few centimetres of snow here and there as they continue
1:48:11 > 1:48:17to push in on the westerly breeze. Because it's not strong, not as many
1:48:17 > 1:48:28showers reaching the east. Western areas, a few showers. Further north,
1:48:28 > 1:48:33a further few centimetres of snow, particularly in western parts of
1:48:33 > 1:48:39Scotland. A dry start to the week. Temperatures up a degree. It would
1:48:39 > 1:48:45feel quite as Chile. The frost forms very quickly this evening. Changes
1:48:45 > 1:48:50tonight. Strengthening. The weather front pushing its way in as well.
1:48:50 > 1:48:54Bringing rain and a bitter pill sleet to southern areas but across
1:48:54 > 1:48:59parts of Northern Ireland, some heavy snow for the hills. Into the
1:48:59 > 1:49:04start of Tuesday, parts of Scotland, central and southern areas and also
1:49:04 > 1:49:08to parts of northern England, not only a cold start but here we could
1:49:08 > 1:49:12see some snow causing some travel problems first thing. We could see
1:49:12 > 1:49:19up to ten centimetres of snow. Even a
1:49:19 > 1:49:23a covering of snow. Further south and east, you might start with some
1:49:23 > 1:49:26sunshine, turning cloudy with outbreaks of rain. A bitter split
1:49:26 > 1:49:32over higher ground. Tomorrow will brighten up after that weather front
1:49:32 > 1:49:38to start with. Temperatures still struggling. Not as much sunshine. It
1:49:38 > 1:49:43will probably feel colder once again. Ayce will be the big issue
1:49:43 > 1:49:47into Tuesday night to take this into Wednesday morning. Giving way to
1:49:47 > 1:49:56lots of cloud on Wednesday. Another weather system pushes in. The
1:49:56 > 1:50:03occasional rain and drizzle. Temperatures lifting. We could see
1:50:03 > 1:50:07temperatures hit 11 degrees in the south-west. They will drop back
1:50:07 > 1:50:10again as we go into Thursday. The weather system that brings the rain,
1:50:10 > 1:50:15sleet and hill snow is just left with a bit more cloud to the
1:50:15 > 1:50:19south-east. Most places will see the return of sunshine with some snow
1:50:19 > 1:50:22flurries to the north-west of the country and as I said, temperatures
1:50:22 > 1:50:26down a little bit on what we have seen. That is how it is looking.
1:50:26 > 1:50:36Widely frosty start. Take it easy out there. Enjoy your day.
1:50:36 > 1:50:41Magnificent gloves that Matthew has. The Union Jack clubs. They are
1:50:41 > 1:50:46keeping me warm. Are they double gloves or a single layer?Single
1:50:46 > 1:50:50glove but they are very thick. I have about 50 layers elsewhere.Take
1:50:50 > 1:50:51his advice.
1:50:51 > 1:50:54Only 2% of eligible fathers have taken up shared parental leave three
1:50:54 > 1:50:56years on from its introduction, that's according to government
1:50:56 > 1:50:57stats out today.
1:50:57 > 1:51:02Steph is taking a look at why.
1:51:02 > 1:51:09It's an interesting one. I will tell you about what it is meant to
1:51:09 > 1:51:14parents.Since 2015, the law changed to allow both parents to take leave
1:51:14 > 1:51:18and a child's first year. It's meant up to 50 weeks of leave can be
1:51:18 > 1:51:25shared. 37 weeks of which is paid. Only 2% of new parents opted to take
1:51:25 > 1:51:38it up. Victoria and Martin Smith. The me, it was a chance to bond.
1:51:38 > 1:51:44Otherwise, we will see them at night.It worked out really well,
1:51:44 > 1:51:52that was the main reason we did it. If it had just been me, I could only
1:51:52 > 1:51:59have taken nine months.I am with
1:51:59 > 1:52:03Kate Cooper is from the Institute of Leadership & Management.
1:52:03 > 1:52:07you would think Martin and Victoria's story would be quite
1:52:07 > 1:52:13common but it really isn't.Why is that? The basic reason is financial.
1:52:13 > 1:52:18It's a very expensive thing to do, to give up your wage for any number
1:52:18 > 1:52:24of weeks and the parental leave pay for men even enhanced, the way it
1:52:24 > 1:52:30would be perhaps with an employee giving improved maternity pay. We
1:52:30 > 1:52:35are having to give the quite a lot of financial benefit in order to not
1:52:35 > 1:52:38allow so much but share the parenting with the father of the
1:52:38 > 1:52:44baby.It's interesting because there is the financial reason but because
1:52:44 > 1:52:50of the law take up, there is not a lot of people doing it.
1:52:50 > 1:52:57Organisations we see all the time, absolutely crucial. The senior role,
1:52:57 > 1:53:01we found with paternity leave, people know it's all right. Other
1:53:01 > 1:53:05fathers will think, I can do that as well. But nobody is doing it, then
1:53:05 > 1:53:11it's not all right to do. You have to be a trailblazer and many fathers
1:53:11 > 1:53:15report their experience, that is that some women do, when they take a
1:53:15 > 1:53:18large amount of time-out of the workplace, they will be
1:53:18 > 1:53:21disadvantaged in some way when they come back.They will miss
1:53:21 > 1:53:26promotions, not be seen as serious, saw the reasons it is intended, is
1:53:26 > 1:53:36to try and address the gender pay gap. Sharing the possible loss to
1:53:36 > 1:53:45your career of taking time-out.Is rating businesses can do?There's an
1:53:45 > 1:53:51awful lot they can do in terms of enhancing parental leave. So many
1:53:51 > 1:53:56fathers haven't even heard about it. We did some research five years ago.
1:53:56 > 1:54:01People won't even taking paternity leave. The government could say this
1:54:01 > 1:54:07is an individual right. It's not the father taking from one parent. That
1:54:07 > 1:54:12would be a great step. To actually look at the level of the pay which
1:54:12 > 1:54:17is very, very low. It is low compared to many countries in the
1:54:17 > 1:54:22EU. But within the organisation, we know when the leave is going to take
1:54:22 > 1:54:29place. Why don't we use that to demonstrate how agile and flexible
1:54:29 > 1:54:35we are and of course, particularly in companies where they can't pay
1:54:35 > 1:54:42huge bonuses, flexible working is a brilliant perk. How do we compare?
1:54:42 > 1:54:46The last time I look at the statistics, we were the third lowest
1:54:46 > 1:54:51country in the EU. If you want to look for a great place, we go
1:54:51 > 1:54:56outside and look at Iceland, where they do this, they recognise it is
1:54:56 > 1:55:00to parents, they are both entitled to leave. Any of us who has had a
1:55:00 > 1:55:10baby knows the first baby, 3-person job.
1:55:10 > 1:55:19job. Taking one person 's leave. In Iceland, both parents are entitled
1:55:19 > 1:55:25to leave.
1:55:25 > 1:55:41to leave. Get in touch with us do the usual methods.
1:55:43 > 1:55:46the usual methods.Getting away getting to my goal. There will be
1:55:46 > 1:55:55setbacks.
1:55:55 > 1:56:01setbacks. We will speak to the stars of the new BBC series which follows
1:56:01 > 1:56:04six gifted children from low-income backgrounds as they try to follow
1:56:04 > 1:59:27their dreams.
1:59:53 > 1:59:55Hello this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.
1:59:55 > 1:59:56Oxfam comes under increasing pressure -
1:59:56 > 1:59:59as the charity's bosses try to convince government ministers
1:59:59 > 2:00:01they should keep millions of pounds of public funding.
2:00:01 > 2:00:03The aid agency will have to say what it knew
2:00:03 > 2:00:06about allegations of sexual misconduct by some of its staff
2:00:06 > 2:00:08in Haiti, and what it's doing to stop it happening again.
2:00:08 > 2:00:10Good morning it's Monday the 12th of February.
2:00:10 > 2:00:11Also this morning.
2:00:11 > 2:00:13Three British tourists who died in a helicopter crash
2:00:13 > 2:00:16in the Grand Canyon are named by US police - three other
2:00:16 > 2:00:20Britons were injured.
2:00:20 > 2:00:23These are the first pictures of an iceberg in the Antarctic,
2:00:23 > 2:00:25four times the size of London, as British scientists prepare
2:00:25 > 2:00:33to embark on an urgent mission to discover what lies beneath.
2:00:33 > 2:00:36There are concerns about the future of the East Coast mainline -
2:00:36 > 2:00:38which runs between Edinburgh and London and carries nearly
2:00:38 > 2:00:4038 million passengers a year.
2:00:40 > 2:00:48I'll be looking at why.
2:00:51 > 2:01:00It's -26 and very windy in Pyeongchang. The women's slopestyle
2:01:00 > 2:01:04final did go ahead. I will be talking to Britain's Amy Fuller, who
2:01:04 > 2:01:08was competing in that final, to find out whether she thinks it was the
2:01:08 > 2:01:09right decision.
2:01:09 > 2:01:11Joanna Lumley - host of this year's Baftas -
2:01:11 > 2:01:13tells Naga how the Me Too and Times Up movements
2:01:13 > 2:01:17are changing the world of film and entertainment.
2:01:17 > 2:01:21I hope this is opening windows and flooding light into every part of
2:01:21 > 2:01:24our industry at all industries, all professions.
2:01:24 > 2:01:26And Matt's under the crescent moon, admiring
2:01:26 > 2:01:27the snowdrops at RHS Wisley.
2:01:27 > 2:01:34Good morning. It may be cold, it may be frosty,
2:01:34 > 2:01:38but it's a stunning start to the working week and first day of half
2:01:38 > 2:01:43term week for many. Lots of sunshine in eastern areas. More snow flurries
2:01:43 > 2:01:49in the West. Your full forecast in 15 minutes. See you then.
2:01:49 > 2:01:53Thank you.
2:01:53 > 2:01:57Senior officials at Oxfam will try to convince the International
2:01:57 > 2:02:00Development Secretary that they should keep their million pounds a
2:02:00 > 2:02:04year in government funding. This is after revelations that
2:02:04 > 2:02:10workers used prostitutes in Haiti. The charity has been forced to get
2:02:10 > 2:02:13the full findings of the situation which led to people being sacked and
2:02:13 > 2:02:17others resigning. Earlier the head of Save the
2:02:17 > 2:02:21Children told us that the organisation had a robust
2:02:21 > 2:02:27safeguarding measures in place and had investigated 31 cases of sexual
2:02:27 > 2:02:30misconduct last year. These were cases of sexual
2:02:30 > 2:02:38harassment. We investigated 31 cases. We acted on 16 of them and
2:02:38 > 2:02:43hand on ten of them over to legal authorities. This is an example of a
2:02:43 > 2:02:48system working. This is us subjecting our organisation to the
2:02:48 > 2:02:53greatest possible scrutiny, precisely in order to protect these
2:02:53 > 2:02:57vulnerable women and children.We shall be talking to the Charity
2:02:57 > 2:02:59commission about those new allegations.
2:02:59 > 2:03:00That's in a few moments' time.
2:03:00 > 2:03:03Three British tourists have been killed in a helicopter crash
2:03:03 > 2:03:04in the United States.
2:03:04 > 2:03:05It happened while on a sightseeing flight
2:03:05 > 2:03:06over the Grand Canyon.
2:03:06 > 2:03:08Three other Britons, and the pilot, were injured.
2:03:08 > 2:03:16Our North America correspondent, James Cook reports.
2:03:17 > 2:03:19The helicopter came down in rocky, remote terrain,
2:03:19 > 2:03:20bursting into flames.
2:03:20 > 2:03:22It appears the survivors were able to get out
2:03:22 > 2:03:24despite suffering serious injuries.
2:03:24 > 2:03:27But three Britons on board died at the scene.
2:03:27 > 2:03:2827-year-old, Becky Dobson, 30-year-old, Stuart Hill,
2:03:28 > 2:03:34and Jason Hill, who was 32.
2:03:34 > 2:03:36For the survivors, three young Britons and the pilot,
2:03:36 > 2:03:39the ordeal was far from over.
2:03:39 > 2:03:42Rescuers, including local military personnel, were flown in but had
2:03:42 > 2:03:48to walk to the crash site using night vision.
2:03:48 > 2:03:50It was more than eight hours before the injured were flown
2:03:50 > 2:03:57to hospital in Los Vegas.
2:03:57 > 2:04:00-- to hospital in Las Vegas.
2:04:00 > 2:04:03We weren't able to extract anyone until two this morning.
2:04:03 > 2:04:04High winds, brown-out dust conditions, rugged terrain,
2:04:04 > 2:04:07and as you know when you fly in treacherous conditions like this,
2:04:07 > 2:04:10you have to have special training and special people.
2:04:10 > 2:04:14It's not clear what caused the crash which involved a Eurocopter EC130.
2:04:14 > 2:04:17The tour company, Papillon Airways, says it is the world's largest
2:04:17 > 2:04:25aerial sightseeing outfits, flying 600,000 people a year.
2:04:25 > 2:04:28In 2001, six people died when another of the firm's
2:04:28 > 2:04:30Grand Canyon helicopters crashed.
2:04:30 > 2:04:32The Foreign Office says it is now providing support to the British
2:04:32 > 2:04:34families of this weekend's victims.
2:04:34 > 2:04:42James Cook, BBC News, Los Vegas.
2:04:42 > 2:04:48-- James Cook, BBC News, Las Vegas.
2:04:48 > 2:04:50Russian investigators are searching fields near Moscow for clues to find
2:04:50 > 2:04:53out why a passenger plane crashed, killing all 71 people on board.
2:04:53 > 2:04:55The Saratov Airlines jet went down just a few
2:04:55 > 2:04:57minutes after taking off yesterday afternoon.
2:04:57 > 2:04:59Officials say they are considering weather conditions,
2:04:59 > 2:05:01human error and technical failure as possible causes but
2:05:01 > 2:05:05they did not mention the possibility of terrorism.
2:05:05 > 2:05:07Theresa May and the Irish Prime Minister, Leo Varadkar,
2:05:07 > 2:05:09are to visit Belfast today for talks with Northern Ireland's
2:05:09 > 2:05:10main parties.
2:05:10 > 2:05:12There are growing indications a deal is
2:05:12 > 2:05:14close that would see devolved government restored.
2:05:14 > 2:05:16Northern Ireland has been run by civil servants since the power
2:05:16 > 2:05:24sharing agreement between Sinn Fein and the DUP collapsed last January.
2:05:27 > 2:05:29An inquiry is being launched into the imminent collapse
2:05:29 > 2:05:30of the East Coast rail franchise.
2:05:30 > 2:05:37Steph's here to explain what's gone wrong.
2:05:37 > 2:05:42And other stuff, as well.This is the line that runs from London Kings
2:05:42 > 2:05:47Cross to Edinburgh and on to Aberdeen. It carries around 80
2:05:47 > 2:05:51million passengers per year. Over the last ten, 20 years the running
2:05:51 > 2:05:56of this line has changed hands quite a lot. The areas concerned now that
2:05:56 > 2:06:06the current operators, which is Virgin, 90% owned by Stagecoach, 10%
2:06:06 > 2:06:10owned by Richard Branson's Virgin group, they say they are having
2:06:10 > 2:06:13problems. Although the line is profitable it is difficult to
2:06:13 > 2:06:17predict how passenger numbers will change. They say they are having
2:06:17 > 2:06:21problems with the money side of it. MPs are looking into what could
2:06:21 > 2:06:26actually happen if they were to end this franchise, which is looking
2:06:26 > 2:06:31quite likely. It's hard to say. It doesn't mean the line will stop. It
2:06:31 > 2:06:37definitely won't. It'll just going into other hands to run the line.
2:06:37 > 2:06:40For anybody using it, or working on it, doesn't mean that service will
2:06:40 > 2:06:45not exist. It has happened a number of times. It's always in the news.
2:06:45 > 2:06:50People always wondering why we are in the news again. That is one of
2:06:50 > 2:06:53the stories. The other thing is Barclays Bank. You might remember
2:06:53 > 2:07:00about ten years ago Barclays made a loan to Qatar which got them into
2:07:00 > 2:07:08trouble. The serious fraud office has been looking into it. They have
2:07:08 > 2:07:15charged the holding company back in 2017. Four individuals were charged
2:07:15 > 2:07:21to do with this loan. We have found out this morning that the bank part
2:07:21 > 2:07:23of the business is now going to be charged. This is important because
2:07:23 > 2:07:28that's the bit of the business that has the licence to do banking with
2:07:28 > 2:07:31other countries. If they are found guilty there is a chance that
2:07:31 > 2:07:36Barclays Bank could lose their license to do finance in other
2:07:36 > 2:07:40countries which is huge. Although they are playing that down. They
2:07:40 > 2:07:44have said they have been working with the regulators on this. Other
2:07:44 > 2:07:47banks in the past have been found guilty at this level and still kept
2:07:47 > 2:07:51their licenses. But business people are picking this up and wondering
2:07:51 > 2:07:54what it might mean for Barclays
2:07:54 > 2:07:54are picking this up and wondering what it might mean for Barclays.
2:07:54 > 2:07:57Thanks very much.
2:07:57 > 2:07:59South Africa's governing party, the ANC, says the fate
2:07:59 > 2:08:01of President Zuma will be decided within 24 hours.
2:08:01 > 2:08:04There is mounting pressure for him to stand down,
2:08:04 > 2:08:05following allegations of corruption.
2:08:05 > 2:08:07Speaking at a rally in Cape Town, the leader of the ANC,
2:08:07 > 2:08:10Cyril Ramaphosa said the key aim of any transition of power
2:08:10 > 2:08:16was to unite South Africans.
2:08:16 > 2:08:18London City Airport has been closed until further notice
2:08:18 > 2:08:20after the discovery of an unexploded Second World War bomb.
2:08:20 > 2:08:22The device was found in the River Thames.
2:08:22 > 2:08:25Passengers are being urged to check with their airlines before
2:08:25 > 2:08:31travelling this morning.
2:08:31 > 2:08:33Kensington Palace has announced more details about the wedding
2:08:33 > 2:08:36of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at Windsor Castle on
2:08:36 > 2:08:39the nineteenth of May.
2:08:39 > 2:08:40The service, in St George's Chapel,
2:08:40 > 2:08:43will begin at midday, which means it is unlikely to clash
2:08:43 > 2:08:44with the FA Cup Final.
2:08:44 > 2:08:46It's been confirmed that the Archbishop of Canterbury
2:08:46 > 2:08:48will marry the couple, and that the Dean of Windsor
2:08:48 > 2:08:49will conduct the service.
2:08:49 > 2:08:50800 guests will be there.
2:08:50 > 2:08:53The newlyweds will then embark on a short carriage procession
2:08:53 > 2:09:01around Windsor at one o'clock.
2:09:05 > 2:09:07The British Antarctic survey has captured the first footage of an
2:09:07 > 2:09:14iceberg which is, if you can believe it, four times the size of London.
2:09:14 > 2:09:20The footage has been released at the start of what the scientists
2:09:25 > 2:09:28The iceberg is four times the size of London, which broke away
2:09:28 > 2:09:30from the continent's ice sheet last year.
2:09:30 > 2:09:33The footage has been released at the start of what the scientists
2:09:33 > 2:09:35say is an "urgent mission" to document the marine ecosystem
2:09:35 > 2:09:37that was exposed when the giant iceberg drifted away.
2:09:37 > 2:09:39Our science correspondent Victoria Gill has more.
2:09:39 > 2:09:41The trillion tonne a 68 iceberg is gradually drifting away from the
2:09:41 > 2:09:45Antarctic continent and into the sea. It's these ice-cold waters that
2:09:45 > 2:09:51scientists are now eager to explore. In the British Antarctic survey
2:09:51 > 2:09:54vessel a team will spend three weeks studying the marine life that has
2:09:54 > 2:09:58been locked away here for a millennia. They have described it as
2:09:58 > 2:10:03a treacherous but urgent mission. There are likely to be new species
2:10:03 > 2:10:07discovered as researchers seek out the creatures that make their home
2:10:07 > 2:10:11beneath the vast ice sheet. But the team also hopes to understand the
2:10:11 > 2:10:14processes that caused the iceberg to break away. This could reveal more
2:10:14 > 2:10:19about just how this fragile, frozen wilderness at the bottom of the
2:10:19 > 2:10:22world will change as the climate warms.
2:10:22 > 2:10:26Beautiful pictures.
2:10:26 > 2:10:28The revelations concerning the behaviour of some aid workers
2:10:28 > 2:10:30threatens not just Oxfam's reputation, but the integrity
2:10:30 > 2:10:32of the charity sector as a whole.
2:10:32 > 2:10:35Christian Aid, Save the Children and the British Red Cross all face
2:10:35 > 2:10:36questions over allegations they investigated staff
2:10:36 > 2:10:37over sexual misconduct.
2:10:37 > 2:10:40So what did the regulator know about what was going
2:10:40 > 2:10:44on in these organisations?
2:10:44 > 2:10:46Michelle Russell is the Director of Investigations,
2:10:46 > 2:10:48Monitoring and Enforcement at the Charity Commission
2:10:48 > 2:10:54and joins us from London.
2:10:54 > 2:11:01Thank you for coming on BBC this morning and answering questions. Did
2:11:01 > 2:11:05anybody at the Charity commission know that Oxfam staff in Haiti were
2:11:05 > 2:11:10paying for prostitutes?Absolutely not. We found out about the details
2:11:10 > 2:11:16of this at the same time as the public did on Friday. It is clearly
2:11:16 > 2:11:21shocking. We wrote to Oxfam on Friday to ask for full disclosure
2:11:21 > 2:11:26about what they knew and when. They did report to us that back then they
2:11:26 > 2:11:31were dealing with a staffing incident which had led to people
2:11:31 > 2:11:36being dismissed. But we didn't know that it was the allegations about
2:11:36 > 2:11:40prostitutes and in fact we were told there was no allegations of abuse of
2:11:40 > 2:11:46beneficiaries.Did they mention inappropriate sexual behaviour back
2:11:46 > 2:11:51in 2011? And if they did surely that should have been a red flag.They
2:11:51 > 2:11:56did say they were investigating some allegations of sexual misconduct.
2:11:56 > 2:12:01Why wasn't that looked into further? Because what was not clear was the
2:12:01 > 2:12:07extent and seriousness of those. They assured us, they categorically
2:12:07 > 2:12:11said there was no allegations of abuse of beneficiaries. Equally they
2:12:11 > 2:12:15did not disclose that there were allegations of possible crimes,
2:12:15 > 2:12:22including those involving minors.It sounds like Oxfam have been involved
2:12:22 > 2:12:29in a cover-up here.Well, we have, as I said, written to Oxfam for full
2:12:29 > 2:12:34disclosure and to reflect on what they reported to us. We are waiting
2:12:34 > 2:12:37to hear from them. We are giving them the opportunity to explain
2:12:37 > 2:12:44themselves to us. That will happen today and at meetings on Wednesday.
2:12:44 > 2:12:48Please be assured that absolutely full and frank disclosure to the
2:12:48 > 2:12:51regulator and authorities is absolutely key. Transparency and
2:12:51 > 2:12:56accountability is what is needed. When you read over the weekend and
2:12:56 > 2:12:59today that people are looking at the job you and your organisation have
2:12:59 > 2:13:04done. You either don't have the power to regulate or you're not
2:13:04 > 2:13:09doing your job well enough, people say, how would you respond to that?
2:13:09 > 2:13:13Absolutely we are on this. We have warned charities that they need to
2:13:13 > 2:13:18put safeguards in at the top of their agenda on governance matter.
2:13:18 > 2:13:22We issued a report two weeks ago that said that. In addition we
2:13:22 > 2:13:25published a report into our discussions about safeguarding in
2:13:25 > 2:13:31Oxfam just before Christmas. And we had made Oxfam make a number of
2:13:31 > 2:13:35commitments for change. I have to say that there are some good things
2:13:35 > 2:13:40Oxfam have been doing. They have been more transparent. They have, as
2:13:40 > 2:13:44you heard over the weekend, been clear that they are ashamed about
2:13:44 > 2:13:47what has happened. There is no place in the charity sector for that sort
2:13:47 > 2:13:53of behaviour. We are the Charity regulator acting on the half of the
2:13:53 > 2:13:59public and we are absolutely clear with that, as is defeated, we are
2:13:59 > 2:14:06united on that.Are you happy with the job that you have done?If we
2:14:06 > 2:14:09had known the full fax we would have dealt with it differently. We have
2:14:09 > 2:14:16said that. -- the full fact Sola we would have dealt with it
2:14:16 > 2:14:18differently. We have warned charities that they need to up their
2:14:18 > 2:14:25game. If they have not disclose to us in the past fully what has gone
2:14:25 > 2:14:30on, they have to do that now, they ought to be reviewing their
2:14:30 > 2:14:33processes and procedures. We've done that already just before Christmas.
2:14:33 > 2:14:39I don't want to sound like I'm being repetitive. You knew in 2011 there
2:14:39 > 2:14:43was inappropriate sexual behaviour, there was bullying, there was staff
2:14:43 > 2:14:48intimidation, get you didn't take further steps. If that was to happen
2:14:48 > 2:14:54now would you act differently?If everything had been disclosed to us
2:14:54 > 2:14:58we would have dealt with it differently, if there had been full
2:14:58 > 2:15:03disclosure.Even though you knew about bullying, harassment and staff
2:15:03 > 2:15:09intimidation and inappropriate sexual behaviour,
2:15:16 > 2:15:24sexual behaviour, As she know it led to the dismissal of staff and post
2:15:24 > 2:15:26output. The most important thing now is that there is complete openness
2:15:26 > 2:15:34and transparency not just an Oxfam but in
2:15:36 > 2:15:42but in terms of other charities, there is a call to leadership in the
2:15:42 > 2:15:46sector about the culture in which they wish to promote in the charity
2:15:46 > 2:15:48sector, we do not want public trust and confidence in charities rocked
2:15:48 > 2:15:50by this but these sorts of incidents happen, there are 167,000 charities,
2:15:50 > 2:15:52millions of volunteers doing a fantastic job on the front line in
2:15:52 > 2:15:55really difficult circumstances but it's really important when these
2:15:55 > 2:15:57allegations and incidents happen that they are fully reported and
2:15:57 > 2:16:01dealt with promptly and responsibly and that is our job as the regulator
2:16:01 > 2:16:05to make sure that happens. You rightly mentioned some of the
2:16:05 > 2:16:08amazing work done by charities not just in this country but around the
2:16:08 > 2:16:11world but you must eat concerned what we are talking about today and
2:16:11 > 2:16:16what he will have read and seen and heard over the weekend, it will rock
2:16:16 > 2:16:20the faith in the system and you must eat concerned, you must know, so
2:16:20 > 2:16:23many people are helped by money in this country that is sent abroad
2:16:23 > 2:16:27that might not get this money because people are looking at that
2:16:27 > 2:16:30and thinking I am going to stop that I wrecked their bit, I am not going
2:16:30 > 2:16:36to put my money in that bucket because this is what it is used for.
2:16:36 > 2:16:39There are two macro things, transparency that we need to shine a
2:16:39 > 2:16:43light on this is absolutely vital and we don't want the public,
2:16:43 > 2:16:49because of that accountability and transparency to shine away from
2:16:49 > 2:16:53supporting charities. The second thing is, it's the responsibility on
2:16:53 > 2:16:57charities working with us and donors like the Department for
2:16:57 > 2:17:00International Development to make sure they step up Pudsey juice and
2:17:00 > 2:17:03practices and the culture and leadership at the top is role model
2:17:03 > 2:17:08for the top of the organisation and we will work with the Department for
2:17:08 > 2:17:11International Development to help them and make sure that is the case.
2:17:11 > 2:17:16Thank you very much for talking to us. I know the conversation was
2:17:16 > 2:17:20Oxfam will be ongoing and the charities commission will be meeting
2:17:20 > 2:17:25with Penny Mordaunt later this week. We know it's cold in South Korea and
2:17:25 > 2:17:32it's cold here, not quite so cold. It is -26 in South Korea.
2:17:32 > 2:17:39Here's Matt with a look at this morning's weather.
2:17:40 > 2:17:46I have no right to complain, it's a wind-chill of -27 in South Korea.
2:17:46 > 2:17:53But nothing to complain about, 240 acres of gardens in RHS Wisley and a
2:17:53 > 2:18:00lot of it covered in Frost, this no drops and the iris flowers are out.
2:18:00 > 2:18:07-- the snowdrops. Snowdrops apparently coming into flower much
2:18:07 > 2:18:12earlier than they were decades ago, a sign that climate is changing.
2:18:12 > 2:18:16Winter is not done with us yet, not done with us today. Let's look at
2:18:16 > 2:18:21the forecast. Covered in Frost here, just about everywhere has a frost
2:18:21 > 2:18:28this morning, term jurors at -- temperatures at or below freezing.
2:18:28 > 2:18:34Snow showers this morning in Scotland, northern England and
2:18:34 > 2:18:38Northern Ireland, more snow in places, if you rain, sleet and hail
2:18:38 > 2:18:43showers, most of the UK starting the day dry, who deal of sunshine in the
2:18:43 > 2:18:46east, the wind is not as strong as yesterday, fewer showers making
2:18:46 > 2:18:52their way to the east. In the West, continuing to see showers into this
2:18:52 > 2:18:57afternoon, not as many as yesterday. Showers in the south, of rain hail
2:18:57 > 2:19:03and sleep, further snow to come. The temperatures today, up eight had an
2:19:03 > 2:19:06yesterday, given the fact the winds are lighter, it won't feel quite as
2:19:06 > 2:19:11chilly, especially the Sun is gaining strength day by day. Once
2:19:11 > 2:19:15you have lost it this evening it will turn frosty again. Temperatures
2:19:15 > 2:19:20rising in the west later, the wind strengthening, this weather front
2:19:20 > 2:19:24making its way in bringing rain and hill snow to Northern Ireland,
2:19:24 > 2:19:28reaching colder air across Scotland and northern England, snow becoming
2:19:28 > 2:19:32more significant, up to ten centimetres on higher ground,
2:19:32 > 2:19:39possibly more. Tomorrow morning, the central belt, some snow as well,
2:19:39 > 2:19:42some problems possible across Scotland and northern England for
2:19:42 > 2:19:46those travelling first thing. Further south any snow mixed in with
2:19:46 > 2:19:49rain on the top of the hills, this front pushing eastwards, gale force
2:19:49 > 2:19:54winds with it, meaning things will brighten up in the West later. Some
2:19:54 > 2:19:59sunshine. Another cold day across the country, especially given the
2:19:59 > 2:20:02stronger winds. And a lack of sunshine for parts of it. The
2:20:02 > 2:20:09weather front departs as we go into Tuesday night, is is the big risk
2:20:09 > 2:20:14taking us into Wednesday. Wright starred across this, another weather
2:20:14 > 2:20:19system pushing its way in, snow mainly limited to the higher ground,
2:20:19 > 2:20:23warmer air, temperatures in the south-west possibly heading 11
2:20:23 > 2:20:27degrees, ploughed through Wednesday afternoon, outbreaks of rain and
2:20:27 > 2:20:32drizzle, some snow over the Scottish mountains. This weather front
2:20:32 > 2:20:36pushing out Wednesday night into Thursday, minimal risk of frost,
2:20:36 > 2:20:40still a lot of cloud in the south and south this dub England, to the
2:20:40 > 2:20:44northern quest of the UK, more sunshine on Thursday, some snow
2:20:44 > 2:20:47showers in the far north-west. That is how you weather is looking, I
2:20:47 > 2:20:50will be back in 30 minutes. Back to Dan and
2:20:55 > 2:21:00appropriately, we are going to talk about icebergs!
2:21:00 > 2:21:03Scientists are on a race against time to access an underwater
2:21:03 > 2:21:05ecosystem in Antarctica.
2:21:05 > 2:21:07It had been hidden by for thousands of years and was only exposed
2:21:07 > 2:21:09after an enormous iceberg split into the sea.
2:21:09 > 2:21:14We will speak to Katrin Linse from the British Antarctic Survey in just
2:21:14 > 2:21:19a moment but let's give you a scale of what we are talking about.
2:21:19 > 2:21:22The iceberg - named A68 - is four times the size
2:21:22 > 2:21:23of Greater London.
2:21:23 > 2:21:26And its ice is - on average - 190-metres thick.
2:21:26 > 2:21:33So it's perhaps not surprising the ecosystem was hidden
2:21:33 > 2:21:36was hidden for 120,000 years.
2:21:36 > 2:21:41Katrin Linse is from the British Antarctic Survey and joins us now.
2:21:41 > 2:21:45Tell us what you are trying to do. You need to get close to this
2:21:45 > 2:21:50iceberg.We need to leave the Falkland Islands and go down to the
2:21:50 > 2:21:55area which will take us between 3-6 days and we need to get through the
2:21:55 > 2:21:59pack ice and there we need the weather to be correct so we can get
2:21:59 > 2:22:04in and then we go to the area that had been covered by the iceberg and
2:22:04 > 2:22:07use marine equipment to collect animals from the water column and
2:22:07 > 2:22:13the seafloor.What are you hoping you might find? Ordinary you would
2:22:13 > 2:22:18never have access to this.Normally we don't have access and we have no
2:22:18 > 2:22:22idea what we will find, the expectation is we will find animals
2:22:22 > 2:22:26are small, related to deep sea animals in a low food environment,
2:22:26 > 2:22:32animals that are not adapted to live on phytoplankton, no vegetarians.
2:22:32 > 2:22:39They will have adapted to scavenge for the predators. We have looked at
2:22:39 > 2:22:42clams, bivalves, that normally filter feed that have adapted to
2:22:42 > 2:22:47sucking little Shrimps that fly past, they become predators and
2:22:47 > 2:22:50cannibal, that was the only food around. That is what I expect to
2:22:50 > 2:22:58find.Talk to us about the iceberg, it's absolutely huge, carved off the
2:22:58 > 2:23:03ice shelf, is that right?It broke off the ice shelf the 12th of July
2:23:03 > 2:23:09last summer, since then has moved 50-60 kilometres away from its
2:23:09 > 2:23:13original position, 100th of the kilometres long.And that several
2:23:13 > 2:23:18hundred metres deep.The ice is several hundred metres deep,
2:23:18 > 2:23:24underneath the iceberg we only had a few hundred metres of water column,
2:23:24 > 2:23:28a restricted area, almost if you live in a cave, the water is
2:23:28 > 2:23:33cavernous.It will have had no light for hundreds of years.No light for
2:23:33 > 2:23:40many years and because on land, the food starts with plans and greenery
2:23:40 > 2:23:45and for you don't have that, this is fight the food web will change
2:23:45 > 2:23:49dramatically.Toggles through these pictures, this is what you are
2:23:49 > 2:23:54trying to get to exactly.This is what we are trying to get to, this
2:23:54 > 2:23:59is a side of the iceberg, you can see the ice sticking out maybe 30-40
2:23:59 > 2:24:05metres above sea level and it will go, 100, 200 metres below. Around it
2:24:05 > 2:24:10we have sea ice and pack ice, smaller icebergs have broken, still
2:24:10 > 2:24:25the size of this building.Can I ask you about the name capital a 68.In
2:24:25 > 2:24:31the ROTC it's the opposite, they are numbered. It is a large iceberg
2:24:31 > 2:24:35being named, the 68th iceberg and of little bits break off that is still
2:24:35 > 2:24:46huge and bigger than this building they are called a 68 A, P, C. They
2:24:46 > 2:24:50are all tracked by satellite.We know for it they are. Important you
2:24:50 > 2:24:54know that because presumably, this is a dangerous environment to be in,
2:24:54 > 2:25:02isn't it?Yes.Tell us about how you prepare.Normally we prepare for
2:25:02 > 2:25:08between three and five years.This happened last July. You can see that
2:25:08 > 2:25:13size of the clap.The crack has ordered but it was still connected.
2:25:13 > 2:25:18It had not broken off. The National environment research Council enabled
2:25:18 > 2:25:22us to go and plan an expedition just a few days, weeks after the crack
2:25:22 > 2:25:30happened so we can go and so fast... Is what is happening here with this
2:25:30 > 2:25:34taking off, is that global warming or is it something else?Something
2:25:34 > 2:25:40scientists debate, we had huge ice shelves carving alongside the
2:25:40 > 2:25:47Antarctic peninsula in the last 15 years and it's accidents that we are
2:25:47 > 2:25:54not aware of before. But then, are satellites that we monitor from,
2:25:54 > 2:25:58it's about 50 years, we don't know what happened before the 60s but it
2:25:58 > 2:26:02can be linked to climate change, this is why we go and take as many
2:26:02 > 2:26:06samples as we can to see if it's linked or not.You have a massive
2:26:06 > 2:26:12iceberg on the loose, where is it going to and is it dangerous?No. I
2:26:12 > 2:26:17would not say it is dangerous, as long as we do not go with our ships
2:26:17 > 2:26:24and helicopter burst in and tried to reach it. It will go with the water
2:26:24 > 2:26:29current, in a clockwise position, it will drift with the current ad of
2:26:29 > 2:26:33the Antarctic, it will start breaking into smaller units, that's
2:26:33 > 2:26:36what we expect. It will go off to South Georgia, the island with the
2:26:36 > 2:26:41Penguins and they were will not be dangerous, it will be in the area
2:26:41 > 2:26:47and it will disintegrate over time... How long? Might relate to a
2:26:47 > 2:26:51little bit of sea level rise but only in terms of managers.It is
2:26:51 > 2:26:55fascinating, we wish you all the best, will you come back and tell us
2:26:55 > 2:27:01what you found? I hope so. Please do. Thank you so much. It is a 20
2:27:01 > 2:30:236am.
2:30:23 > 2:30:23Vanessa focuses on radio London in a 6am.
2:30:23 > 2:30:24Vanessa focuses on radio London in a few minutes time, talking about
2:30:24 > 2:30:27supermarkets because there have been a change in the People's favourite.
2:30:27 > 2:30:29For now.
2:30:37 > 2:30:41Hello, this is Breakfast with Dan and Louise.
2:30:41 > 2:30:43Senior officials at Oxfam will today try to convince the International
2:30:43 > 2:30:45Development Secretary that they should keep
2:30:45 > 2:30:47their millions of pounds a year in Government funding.
2:30:47 > 2:30:52It's after revelations that aid workers used prostitutes in Haiti.
2:30:52 > 2:30:56The charity's been accused of concealing the full findings
2:30:56 > 2:30:59of an investigation in 2011, which led to four people being
2:30:59 > 2:31:02sacked and three others resigning.
2:31:02 > 2:31:06Oxfam denies claims of a cover-up.
2:31:06 > 2:31:07In the last hour, the head of investigations at
2:31:07 > 2:31:10the Charity Commission insisted there was no place in the sector
2:31:10 > 2:31:14for this kind of behaviour.
2:31:14 > 2:31:18It wasn't dismissed back then, we held Oxfam to account in terms of
2:31:18 > 2:31:23ensuring they were investigating it and, as you know, it led to the
2:31:23 > 2:31:28dismissal of staff and resignations, so it was investigated and dealt
2:31:28 > 2:31:32with. But the more important thing now is that there is complete
2:31:32 > 2:31:37openness and transparency not just in Oxfam but in terms of other
2:31:37 > 2:31:41charities, and that there is a call to leadership in the sector about
2:31:41 > 2:31:45the culture in which they wish to promote in the charity sector. We do
2:31:45 > 2:31:51not want public trust and confidence in charities rocked by this.

2:32:10 > 2:32:12to get to the scene.
2:32:12 > 2:32:17They were right on...
2:32:17 > 2:32:20We were notified of the crash at 5.40, and first responders
2:32:20 > 2:32:23were on the scene within the first 30 minutes.
2:32:23 > 2:32:28And we attribute that quick response to what helped save lives.

2:32:57 > 2:33:01main parties.
2:33:01 > 2:33:04There are growing indications a deal is close that would see devolved
2:33:04 > 2:33:05Government restored.
2:33:05 > 2:33:11Northern Ireland has been run by civil servants since the power
2:33:11 > 2:33:14sharing agreement between Sinn Fein and the DUP collapsed last January.
2:33:14 > 2:33:16South Africa's governing party, the ANC, says the fate
2:33:16 > 2:33:19of President Zuma will be decided within 24 hours.
2:33:19 > 2:33:21There is mounting pressure for him to stand down,
2:33:21 > 2:33:25following allegations of corruption.
2:33:25 > 2:33:30Speaking at a rally in Cape Town, the leader of the ANC,

2:33:54 > 2:33:56to the pressure on GP surgeries and A&E departments,

2:34:33 > 2:34:39Yes, it should be all right. 800 guests is an awful lot, isn't it?!
2:34:39 > 2:34:45I don't think I have 800 friends! I'm not sure I have 100!
2:34:45 > 2:34:50Coming up here on Breakfast this morning...
2:34:50 > 2:34:54My job is like a headmistress to say, off you go, the next category

2:35:17 > 2:35:20in the BBC's latest crime thriller.
2:35:20 > 2:35:24Are not scared of my disadvantage, nothing will get in my way in
2:35:24 > 2:35:30getting to my goal, but there will be setbacks, but you've just got to
2:35:30 > 2:35:34get up and dust yourself off and keep on going.
2:35:34 > 2:35:37The kids fighting for a better life - we'll speak to two of the stars

2:35:40 > 2:35:48from low-income backgrounds as they try to follow their dreams.
2:35:49 > 2:35:53Let's talk Winter Olympics, because Team GB's Amy Fuller has been
2:35:53 > 2:35:57competing in the slopestyle in the last few hours in very, very
2:35:57 > 2:36:00difficult conditions, but just to give you an idea of what slopestyle
2:36:00 > 2:36:05involves, here is a little guide. It is essentially an obstacle course
2:36:05 > 2:36:10for snowboarders, they navigate a variety of rails and jobs.
2:36:10 > 2:36:13Competitors are scored on the quality of their tricks, including
2:36:13 > 2:36:18spins and flips. It is a relatively new sport, only became part of the
2:36:18 > 2:36:25Winter Olympics in 2014 in Sochi. So how did Amy get on? Cat is in
2:36:25 > 2:36:30Pyeongchang for us this morning, and it really was something to watch as
2:36:30 > 2:36:32the weather conditions affected things.
2:36:32 > 2:36:35Good morning, yes, we have been talking a lot about the weather
2:36:35 > 2:36:39conditions here because we British, after all, but it is not just the
2:36:39 > 2:36:44cold that has been grabbing the headlines, -26 today at the
2:36:44 > 2:36:49slopestyle course. It was also the wind, causing real problems. The
2:36:49 > 2:36:53men's downhill was postponed yesterday, the women's slopestyle
2:36:53 > 2:36:57final, featuring Great Britain's Amy Fuller, did go ahead and I'm pleased
2:36:57 > 2:37:09to say Amy survived despite the incredibly tough conditions, and is
2:37:09 > 2:37:12standing right next to me now here in Pyeongchang.It was like you were
2:37:12 > 2:37:15fighting the course and the wind all the way down, tell us what it was
2:37:15 > 2:37:18like competing in those costs? Today was probably one of the toughest
2:37:18 > 2:37:20days I have had on my snowboard in competition. The wind played a huge
2:37:20 > 2:37:24factor, so much so on my first run I did not even hit the second jump, I
2:37:24 > 2:37:30had to pull out, it was like riding into a windfall tax, it was crazy,
2:37:30 > 2:37:37so I decided to play it safe and not risk my life going into the first
2:37:37 > 2:37:41run, then the second run, it is the Olympics, the final, I wanted to
2:37:41 > 2:37:46give it everything I had. I felt strong on my board and managed to
2:37:46 > 2:37:50have enough speed to clear jump two, going into jump three, I gave it
2:37:50 > 2:37:55absolutely everything. I was in the air, felt OK on take-off, then
2:37:55 > 2:38:00coming around I could literally... You may as well have attached a sale
2:38:00 > 2:38:03to my snowboard, it just took me, there was not a chance I was going
2:38:03 > 2:38:09to land. How are you feeling after the crash, it looks like a tough
2:38:09 > 2:38:14landing? Absolutely devastated, I was so close, but I just really feel
2:38:14 > 2:38:19like it did not demonstrate our sport at the highest level that it
2:38:19 > 2:38:27should be seen at. Our sport is so young, it is fast, exciting, it is a
2:38:27 > 2:38:30developing sport, and I'm not only devastated but I am also a bit sore.
2:38:30 > 2:38:35I took a pretty heavy slam on the last run, and it was literally the
2:38:35 > 2:38:42wind, there was nothing I could do. I laid all my cards on the table
2:38:42 > 2:38:45and, dare, it is just the look of the draw, unfortunately, but I never
2:38:45 > 2:38:54thought riding in the finals, things such as the wind would a huge factor
2:38:54 > 2:38:58in my result, so, Jack devastated. 17th, though, really not that bad
2:38:58 > 2:39:04but you were expecting better?Yeah, I am not happy with that at all, I
2:39:04 > 2:39:10think if I had managed to pull through and not be swept off my feet
2:39:10 > 2:39:15I felt strong and confident on my snowboard, I have been on my board a
2:39:15 > 2:39:19lot the last few months and was really excited for today. I'm
2:39:19 > 2:39:23gutted, not by any means happy with that result, which only drives me
2:39:23 > 2:39:29more going to head into next week's big air.What was the feeling among
2:39:29 > 2:39:32your fellow competitors, and you as well, would you have said it was too
2:39:32 > 2:39:36dangerous or was it just that you did not get the chance because of
2:39:36 > 2:39:39the conditions? Because the organisers made the call for it to
2:39:39 > 2:39:43go ahead, you did not showcase the best of your sport, do you think
2:39:43 > 2:39:47there was an element where it should not have happened because of the
2:39:47 > 2:39:50danger?I feel it did not demonstrate our sport to its level
2:39:50 > 2:39:57by any means. There was a rumour that it was going to be polled after
2:39:57 > 2:40:00the first run, that is what they told us before it started, they
2:40:00 > 2:40:04said, there is a window but in the forecast is 55 mark that our wins
2:40:04 > 2:40:08for the next two days so we either go now and risk it, but there was
2:40:08 > 2:40:14not much discussion, it was kind of just, you are on in 15 minutes, it
2:40:14 > 2:40:19is live, it is the Olympics, on TV, everyone is watching, there was not
2:40:19 > 2:40:24really much said. One of my good friend said something in the tent at
2:40:24 > 2:40:29the top, she was like, this isn't good, we shouldn't go. One of the
2:40:29 > 2:40:35girls who did very well spoken very strongly about the fact that it
2:40:35 > 2:40:42should run, but the conditions were definitely unstable, unfavourable
2:40:42 > 2:40:47and, yeah, I'm not going to say any more!That was pretty strong, Aimee!
2:40:47 > 2:40:52You have got the big air coming up so a chance may be to turn things
2:40:52 > 2:40:59around what are your prospects in that competition?I'm hoping the
2:40:59 > 2:41:03Pyeongchang gust disappears! As you can see now it is so windy. I'm
2:41:03 > 2:41:09hoping for a final result, I'm looking for, that is what I am
2:41:09 > 2:41:13aiming for, I've been working hard, straight after Christmas I was in
2:41:13 > 2:41:16Canada, -39 there so I was prepared for the cold, maybe not the wind,
2:41:16 > 2:41:22but the cold! I'm looking, along with the rest of my team, we will be
2:41:22 > 2:41:26missing Katie, which is really unfortunate so we sent our well
2:41:26 > 2:41:31wishes to her, but we are going to go out there has a strong squad and
2:41:31 > 2:41:36the best we can, and we are going to stick together and get this one and
2:41:36 > 2:41:40make you all at home proud because the support has been absolutely
2:41:40 > 2:41:44unreal and I cannot thank you all enough, especially with the time
2:41:44 > 2:41:48difference, everyone has been getting a bad I think for 30 AM
2:41:48 > 2:41:53yesterday it was cancelled, and today 1:30am, at 2am, and for people
2:41:53 > 2:41:56going into work, we really appreciate the support, so let's
2:41:56 > 2:42:02bring it home for Team GB.When is the big air?The 19th of the girls,
2:42:02 > 2:42:06I think the day before for the boys, so stay tuned and I'm sure Team GB
2:42:06 > 2:42:15will update you as well as the BBC on the schedule!Aimee has done my
2:42:15 > 2:42:20job for me! Big air coming up later on in the games, Team GB going for
2:42:20 > 2:42:22glory there. Good luck to her, we shall look
2:42:22 > 2:42:27forward to it, thanks both. Live coverage of the Winter Olympics
2:42:27 > 2:42:29continues on BBC One straight after us, you don't have to go anywhere.
2:42:29 > 2:42:34Shall we just stay here and watch? You genuinely will be, she won't be
2:42:34 > 2:42:36going anywhere today!
2:42:36 > 2:42:38First Henry Blofeld retired from Test Match Special,
2:42:38 > 2:42:40then John Motson announced he was hanging up
2:42:40 > 2:42:41his sheepskin coat.
2:42:41 > 2:42:43Now rugby union has become the latest sport to lose
2:42:43 > 2:42:47one of its most beloved and distinctive voices.
2:42:47 > 2:42:49After a BBC career spanning nearly half a century,
2:42:49 > 2:42:51Ian Robertson is to step out of the commentary box
2:42:51 > 2:42:53at the end of this year.
2:42:53 > 2:42:56We'll speak to Ian in a moment, but first let's hear him in action
2:42:56 > 2:43:02from Saturday's Six Nations match between England and Wales for 5Live.
2:43:02 > 2:43:06But they had this one last chance, Calum Wyn Jones wins the line-out,
2:43:06 > 2:43:12they have now got to move it away, they are only 30 minutes from their
2:43:12 > 2:43:18goal-line. All power and strength there, going forward, they are up
2:43:18 > 2:43:25now, coming almost to the ten metre line. Knocked on, the referee plays
2:43:25 > 2:43:32the advantage, and the advantage will simply be watching
2:43:32 > 2:43:36Wigglesworth, it is not Wigglesworth, Pharrell kicks it up
2:43:36 > 2:43:42into Dutch, into our commentary box! And that is the final whistle and
2:43:42 > 2:43:48England have won.The ball landed right beside you on Saturday?!All
2:43:48 > 2:43:55prearranged! Wigglesworth does stuff with Radio 5 Live so I said, if you
2:43:55 > 2:43:59get on at the end, kick it into the box, and it came right into the box,
2:43:59 > 2:44:02I dropped it.Lovely to have you with us, many people this morning
2:44:02 > 2:44:05being in contact to say they cannot believe you are going, they have
2:44:05 > 2:44:10enjoyed listening to you. Many years. Why make the decision?It is
2:44:10 > 2:44:14a good time to go, I have spoken to John Watson and Henry Blofeld and
2:44:14 > 2:44:19said, how do you know? They said, you know when it is time to go and I
2:44:19 > 2:44:24had that feeling as well. The November internationals, South
2:44:24 > 2:44:30Africa, the first time I went on a major tour with the 74 miles, I went
2:44:30 > 2:44:36out at the end, that was a brilliant trip, and that test in the autumn,
2:44:36 > 2:44:40for the first time in four years England played New Zealand at
2:44:40 > 2:44:44Twickenham, a massive match, then the final test in the autumn series
2:44:44 > 2:44:49is England against Australia and I have done one good commentary in 46
2:44:49 > 2:44:52years for the BBC and that is a reprise of England Australia in 2003
2:44:52 > 2:44:59World Cup.Have you got, looking back, any particular standout
2:44:59 > 2:45:05moments? There will be lots but can you choose a few?I-mate upset the
2:45:05 > 2:45:11whole nation of England but my favourite moment was a match at
2:45:11 > 2:45:15Wembley which was England against Wales and funnily enough a home game
2:45:15 > 2:45:19for Wales but they were rebuilding the Millennium Stadium so they used
2:45:19 > 2:45:24Wembley as their home match and right at the end Lawrence Dallaglio
2:45:24 > 2:45:29had the chance, captain of England, there was a kick in front of the
2:45:29 > 2:45:33posts and they were leading by six points, if that had gone over that
2:45:33 > 2:45:38was the end of it, but being bowled they went for touch, kicked a touch
2:45:38 > 2:45:42instead, they were penalised, the ball was rooted Downfield to the
2:45:42 > 2:45:46halfway line and then further, and then another line-out won by Wales
2:45:46 > 2:45:53and Scott Gibbs got it, crashed through, they had a 6-point margin
2:45:53 > 2:45:55in their favour, England, last seconds of the game, crashed
2:45:55 > 2:45:58through, beat several players, and as he went through to school, my
2:45:58 > 2:46:04commentary on this game was, and Scott Gibbs has scored the try
2:46:04 > 2:46:08which, with the convergent Apollo, means that Scotland will be the five
2:46:08 > 2:46:13patients champions this year and forever more! It was the last ever
2:46:13 > 2:46:19five Nations match, Italy joined the next year, and I got a lot of stick
2:46:19 > 2:46:23at the Christmas party, on the outtakes every Christmas, here we
2:46:23 > 2:46:30go, and Scotland become the five Nations champion!
2:46:30 > 2:46:33You mention 2003, four rights reasons we can't play your
2:46:33 > 2:46:38commentary, but lots of people, and I know many Scots set to you, why
2:46:38 > 2:46:42were you so happy? There was a reason you were so happy when you
2:46:42 > 2:46:46commentated on that.I was very happy for Jonny Wilkinson, I'm an
2:46:46 > 2:46:50very good terms with him. But also a few months before, actually more
2:46:50 > 2:46:54than a year before the World Cup, I was chatting with Lawrence Dallaglio
2:46:54 > 2:47:00and Jason learn on. We went through all of the main teams and we worked
2:47:00 > 2:47:03out that England should be the favourites for the World Cup, they
2:47:03 > 2:47:05had the best track record at that time. They were building the team
2:47:05 > 2:47:09and they would only get better. But the bookies were offering 20-1
2:47:09 > 2:47:14against England. So I went in and had a little tickle on that with
2:47:14 > 2:47:19Ladbrokes. So, as the ball went over, I was very happy, I picked up
2:47:19 > 2:47:25a few quid and had Mike Powell Johnny Wilson is dropping the
2:47:25 > 2:47:31winning goal -- I had Mike Powell. You mention him, a message for you.
2:47:31 > 2:47:36Happy retirement for you, thanks for all your efforts, it's been great
2:47:36 > 2:47:39meeting up with you and chatting rugby and sharing a lot of
2:47:39 > 2:47:44experiences. Take care, all the best, and enjoy the view just up to
2:47:44 > 2:47:48oh, that's so nice!You must have had so many messages from people who
2:47:48 > 2:47:52have grown up listening to your commentary, and then you have
2:47:52 > 2:47:56commentated on them. So many young commentators have come through with
2:47:56 > 2:48:00you as a hero to them behind the microphone.Of course, the real hero
2:48:00 > 2:48:04is the man who coached me at the very beginning, though McLaren, he
2:48:04 > 2:48:08is the voice of rugby, and the best commentator that has ever been and
2:48:08 > 2:48:13there ever will be. And I learned from him. And he was just such an
2:48:13 > 2:48:17amazing commentator. I remember showing John Watson and Murray
2:48:17 > 2:48:23Walker and Richie Benaud a set of bill McLaren's notes for a match.
2:48:23 > 2:48:271200 statistics on a sheet of paper, and he didn't need it on match day.
2:48:27 > 2:48:31It took him 18 hours to do every week and he landed off by heart. I
2:48:31 > 2:48:35was just an amateur. I would squiggle things down, not in the
2:48:35 > 2:48:41same league. But I've enjoyed every moment of it. I remember John Watson
2:48:41 > 2:48:44saying, I thought I was well prepared for a match, but this was
2:48:44 > 2:48:51incredible. It was just a big
2:48:54 > 2:48:55incredible. It was just a big sheet and everything was on there. Every
2:48:55 > 2:48:58player got four bind in black, red, blue and green. Each line had eight
2:48:58 > 2:49:02statistics, he knew which went into which line. He said, if a player is
2:49:02 > 2:49:06injured, I can talk about him for five minutes. I can talk for five
2:49:06 > 2:49:10minutes, but with less detail!Thank you very much for coming in to talk
2:49:10 > 2:49:14to us. We will look forward to the next time we can listen to you.I
2:49:14 > 2:49:21will be back in November, the last time I will do the six Nations. I
2:49:21 > 2:49:27thought that Dan would bring up the wealth- Scotland much!-- the Wales-
2:49:27 > 2:49:31Scotland much. Lovely to see you.
2:49:31 > 2:49:33Here's Matt with a look at this morning's weather.
2:49:33 > 2:49:37Here's Matt with a look at this morning's weather.
2:49:37 > 2:49:43Thanks, Dan. Good morning from Wisley Gardens in Surrey. It's been
2:49:43 > 2:49:48a lovely morning here. A cold start with frost on the ground across the
2:49:48 > 2:49:52UK this Monday morning. Let's look at the details. We start with a
2:49:52 > 2:49:56widespread frost but quite a pleasant day in store, a pleasant
2:49:56 > 2:49:59winter's day for many, central and eastern areas seeing lots of
2:49:59 > 2:50:04sunshine throughout, but dealt some snow showers around. Those have been
2:50:04 > 2:50:07across Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England in particular,
2:50:07 > 2:50:12giving a further dusting of snow in places, slippy conditions here and
2:50:12 > 2:50:17there. Towards the south-west of the UK, the showers of rain, hail and
2:50:17 > 2:50:22sleep and a little bit of hill snow. The wind not quite as strong as it
2:50:22 > 2:50:28was. The showers are not making it further eastwards, the East. Dry
2:50:28 > 2:50:32with sunshine. But in the western areas, we continue to see showers.
2:50:32 > 2:50:36But fewer in number than you know, but still enough to give a covering
2:50:36 > 2:50:41of snow on the ground, a centimetre or two is not a bit more in western
2:50:41 > 2:50:45Scotland in particular. The temperatures up a notch on
2:50:45 > 2:50:50yesterday, still a chilly day. You can feel the strength of the sun
2:50:50 > 2:50:55gaining day by day. With light winds, it might not feel quite as
2:50:55 > 2:51:00chilly. It will stay chilly as soon as we lose the sun this evening and
2:51:00 > 2:51:02overnight, frost developing, continuing into the morning across
2:51:02 > 2:51:07the East. But to the West through tonight we will see cloud and rain
2:51:07 > 2:51:11spread its way in, turning to snow across the hills of northern Ireland
2:51:11 > 2:51:16and even lower levels at times. Scotland and northern England,
2:51:16 > 2:51:19significant snowfall expected into Tuesday morning rush hour. This is
2:51:19 > 2:51:22where we could see up to ten centimetres on the higher ground.
2:51:22 > 2:51:26Even lower levels, snow could cause problems for the morning rush hour.
2:51:26 > 2:51:32A mixture of cloud, wind, rain, sleet, snow, across many northern
2:51:32 > 2:51:39and western areas tomorrow, pushing its way eastwards.
2:51:39 > 2:51:41its way eastwards. Winds touching gale force for some of you. But
2:51:41 > 2:51:43brightens up towards the West on Tuesday afternoon, with some
2:51:43 > 2:51:46sunshine around, and still just one or two Winter is showers in western
2:51:46 > 2:51:49Scotland. Temperatures much as today's values, but stronger winds
2:51:49 > 2:51:55and a lot more cloud around, it will feel fairly chilly. To get us into
2:51:55 > 2:51:59Wednesday, frost and is the big story through Tuesday night.
2:51:59 > 2:52:04Wednesday we start off with brightness in the East. Outbreaks of
2:52:04 > 2:52:08rain and drizzle, not quite as chilly a day, temperatures in double
2:52:08 > 2:52:11figures towards the south-west, in 11 degrees possible. Any snow will
2:52:11 > 2:52:16be limited to the higher ground of northern England and Scotland. Into
2:52:16 > 2:52:20Thursday, cloud and rain, clears away from the south-east, lots of
2:52:20 > 2:52:23sunshine around. A few showers in the north and west. Things turn
2:52:23 > 2:52:29milder in the midweek. Cold and bright for many. Enjoy.
2:52:29 > 2:52:35STUDIO: We will wrap up tight. Thanks very much, Matt.
2:52:35 > 2:52:37She's one of our best-loved stars, who's been in everything
2:52:37 > 2:52:39from Paddington two to Absolutely Fabulous .
2:52:39 > 2:52:41But on Sunday, Joanna Lumley takes on a new role.
2:52:41 > 2:52:43She's taking over from Stephen Fry as the host
2:52:43 > 2:52:45of the Bafta Film Awards.
2:52:45 > 2:52:47Naga caught up with her to find out how she was feeling
2:52:47 > 2:52:49ahead of the big event.
2:52:49 > 2:52:51Joanna Lumley, thank you so much for talking to us.
2:52:51 > 2:52:53Oh, it's a pleasure to be here.
2:52:53 > 2:52:54An absolute pleasure to have you.
2:52:54 > 2:52:56How excited are you about presenting the Baftas?
2:52:56 > 2:52:57So excited and thrilled.
2:52:57 > 2:53:00It was just such an honour to be asked, and I said yes
2:53:00 > 2:53:02with a beating heart thinking, God...
2:53:02 > 2:53:05I rang up Stephen Fry at once, who's a friend mine anyway.
2:53:05 > 2:53:06Thank you...
2:53:06 > 2:53:07He said, I'm thrilled.
2:53:07 > 2:53:10All you've got to do is remember first of all that nobody ever
2:53:10 > 2:53:13complained that an award ceremony is too short.
2:53:13 > 2:53:17And then the second thing is to keep it up in the air, keep it tight,
2:53:17 > 2:53:19keep it entertaining and keep it light.
2:53:19 > 2:53:21And as my job is just to be a host...
2:53:21 > 2:53:23Really, first of all, you say, "hello, welcome,
2:53:23 > 2:53:26I'm really happy to be here, blah, blah, blah".
2:53:26 > 2:53:28Then you say, "and to present the first award"...
2:53:28 > 2:53:30On come two massive movie stars or whatever.
2:53:30 > 2:53:34And then they have the things, we see the stuff, they read it out.
2:53:34 > 2:53:36So they really do all that.
2:53:36 > 2:53:39And then my job is like a headmistress to say, "off you go,
2:53:39 > 2:53:40the next category is"...
2:53:40 > 2:53:41So, I'm looking forward to it.
2:53:41 > 2:53:44Stephen Fry, though, even they you say the role isn't
2:53:44 > 2:53:47as big as perhaps the movie stars who are presenting the actual
2:53:47 > 2:53:49awards, Stephen Fry's always made it his own.
2:53:49 > 2:53:50He's always...
2:53:50 > 2:53:55Oh, don't say that!
2:53:55 > 2:53:56Because now it's not mine!
2:53:56 > 2:53:57Stephen, give me it!
2:53:57 > 2:54:00No, he's given it to you, it's all yours, he's happy,
2:54:00 > 2:54:02as you say, he's happy for you to have it.
2:54:02 > 2:54:03Of course I will, of course.
2:54:03 > 2:54:06That everyone will be expecting you to put your...
2:54:06 > 2:54:08But it's only me, people know me, people who have seen
2:54:08 > 2:54:10me on television know who I am, you know?
2:54:10 > 2:54:13So, I'm not suddenly going to become a satirist
2:54:13 > 2:54:14or a stand-up comic or anything.
2:54:14 > 2:54:16So, what are you going to bring to it?
2:54:16 > 2:54:17Watch do you think?
2:54:17 > 2:54:19What is that Joanna Lumley touch?
2:54:19 > 2:54:20I'm going to bring a dress!
2:54:20 > 2:54:21Have you chosen it already?
2:54:21 > 2:54:22Yes, of course.
2:54:22 > 2:54:23Any hints?
2:54:23 > 2:54:25Yes, Betty Jackson's making it for me.
2:54:25 > 2:54:28She's retired, but she's come out of retirement for me to make
2:54:28 > 2:54:29this fabulous dress.
2:54:29 > 2:54:31She did all Patsy's clothes in Ab Fab.
2:54:31 > 2:54:33And then years ago, before you were born,
2:54:33 > 2:54:35there was a show called The New Avengers.
2:54:35 > 2:54:38And she was very, very new and young then, and she made
2:54:38 > 2:54:39clothes for that for me.
2:54:39 > 2:54:40What colour is it going to be?
2:54:40 > 2:54:42Black.
2:54:42 > 2:54:45And the reason I ask, of course, is the whole idea of women
2:54:45 > 2:54:47wearing black as part of the Me Too movement.
2:54:47 > 2:54:48Well, I've just seen the Golden Globes.
2:54:48 > 2:54:50And I'd got...
2:54:50 > 2:54:52I mean, I knew I had the gig long before Christmas.
2:54:52 > 2:54:55But when the Golden Globes came, and I saw all the women
2:54:55 > 2:54:57wearing black, I thought, I'll take a note from this,
2:54:57 > 2:55:00because if they wear black and I've decided to wear shocking pink,
2:55:00 > 2:55:01it would look awful.
2:55:01 > 2:55:04So maybe just to be safe I'll wear black.
2:55:04 > 2:55:07Anyway, as a host, Stephen as a man wore black because it was black tie.
2:55:07 > 2:55:09And it wouldn't look extraordinary if I wore black,
2:55:09 > 2:55:11even if everybody wore colours, it would look normal
2:55:11 > 2:55:13for me to wear black.
2:55:13 > 2:55:15But if I didn't wear black and everybody was wearing black,
2:55:15 > 2:55:18I'd better wear black, do you know what I mean?
2:55:18 > 2:55:19So I chose black.
2:55:19 > 2:55:22Watch do you think of the campaign to wear black to represent
2:55:22 > 2:55:23women standing up against inequality and harassment?
2:55:23 > 2:55:26Do you know, I think, because it combines a whole lot of things.
2:55:26 > 2:55:29First of all it combines, in the Royal Albert Hall,
2:55:29 > 2:55:31the 100 years that the suffragettes signed the thing.
2:55:31 > 2:55:34So that, you know, people over 30 with a certain standing in life,
2:55:34 > 2:55:37so it wasn't all women, but nevertheless, they could get
2:55:37 > 2:55:38the vote for the first time.
2:55:38 > 2:55:40And so that hugely powerful and strong wonderful campaign
2:55:40 > 2:55:42bounced on three people, women being allowed to work
2:55:42 > 2:55:45in munitions factories or fight in the war and things like this.
2:55:45 > 2:55:47And now bouncing off this, the Time's Up think.
2:55:47 > 2:55:50And I hope this is now opening windows and flooding like into every
2:55:50 > 2:55:53part of our industry and all industries, all professions,
2:55:53 > 2:55:56so that we can now look forward into the outer world,
2:55:56 > 2:55:59the greater world, to the wider countries and cultures where women
2:55:59 > 2:56:01are appallingly treated.
2:56:01 > 2:56:05Where they are really abused and marginalised.
2:56:05 > 2:56:13And so I love the idea that this great strength is that,
2:56:15 > 2:56:19it's not only women, but men too, and looking
2:56:19 > 2:56:20forward, and the injuries
2:56:20 > 2:56:21to women in the greater world.
2:56:21 > 2:56:22So, this is terrific.
2:56:22 > 2:56:25Have you ever been a victim or made to feel a victim?
2:56:25 > 2:56:26No, I haven't.
2:56:26 > 2:56:28And I think I'm probably not victim material.
2:56:28 > 2:56:30A, I'm quite tall, and B, I'm quite outspoken.
2:56:30 > 2:56:33I laugh a lot, means that quite a lot of victim-type things,
2:56:33 > 2:56:36if you laugh, it stops being quite so sort of, thingy,
2:56:36 > 2:56:37you know what I mean?
2:56:37 > 2:56:40Let's talk about a film that you're in, Finding Your Feet.
2:56:40 > 2:56:42How did your internet date go at the weekend?
2:56:42 > 2:56:45Well, let's just say I got more than I bargained for.
2:56:45 > 2:56:46Lucky you!
2:56:46 > 2:56:48No, he showed up with his wife in tow.
2:56:48 > 2:56:50Turns out I clicked 'swinging' instead of 'swimming'
2:56:50 > 2:56:53on my list of likes.
2:56:53 > 2:56:55It's sweet, it's a darling film, and it's a lovely late-flowering
2:56:55 > 2:56:58love story, unexpected love story, a family abrasive thing
2:56:58 > 2:57:03which is resolved.
2:57:03 > 2:57:06And all of it's set against the backdrop of a senior
2:57:06 > 2:57:11citizens' dance class, which is great, which is adorable.
2:57:11 > 2:57:13And of course, people will have seen it on Strictly.
2:57:13 > 2:57:16I mean, you don't have too have seen Strictly and people are kind
2:57:16 > 2:57:17of reeling away from that.
2:57:17 > 2:57:18The audiences watch it.
2:57:18 > 2:57:20The people who's been in it, you've met them,
2:57:20 > 2:57:22are bewitched by dance, they can't stop dancing,
2:57:22 > 2:57:23they adore it.
2:57:23 > 2:57:26So, the great thing about this is that we're hoping that maybe
2:57:26 > 2:57:28older people will get out and...
2:57:28 > 2:57:29Cure their loneliness and their inability
2:57:29 > 2:57:36by going to dance classes.
2:57:36 > 2:57:37-- and their immobility.
2:57:37 > 2:57:39Maybe it'll work.
2:57:39 > 2:57:41I hope it does, because we all absolutely adored it.
2:57:41 > 2:57:42We've been talent-spotted.
2:57:42 > 2:57:44We're going to Rome, city of lovers.
2:57:44 > 2:57:46Would you be first up on the dancefloor at a party?
2:57:46 > 2:57:48No, because my husband won't dance.
2:57:48 > 2:57:50Ah, you don't have to dance with him!
2:57:50 > 2:57:51No...
2:57:51 > 2:57:52That's an idea!
2:57:52 > 2:57:53No, of course I do!
2:57:53 > 2:57:56I dance, but I don't go too many dance parties.
2:57:56 > 2:57:58Do you think the film industry is making enough
2:57:58 > 2:57:59about the so-called grey pound?
2:57:59 > 2:58:01You know, we talk about the pink pound, we talk
2:58:01 > 2:58:02about the youth pound.
2:58:02 > 2:58:05We talk about the grey pound now, appealing to older generations
2:58:05 > 2:58:06of watchers and actors.
2:58:06 > 2:58:11Well, this is quite hard, you know?
2:58:11 > 2:58:15If you think back to great movies, Hollywood movies, the ones that
2:58:15 > 2:58:18have become legendary, Turner classic movies, the old ones,
2:58:18 > 2:58:21practically none of them are about older people.
2:58:21 > 2:58:24So, suddenly to say, we've got to have lots of films
2:58:24 > 2:58:25about old people is odd.
2:58:25 > 2:58:28Old people, which is me, I'm 71, so I'm an old person,
2:58:28 > 2:58:31I'm a pensioner, so I'm the grey pound, I don't think,
2:58:31 > 2:58:33oh, I want to watch films about old people.
2:58:33 > 2:58:36I mean, also, as a woman, I don't read women's
2:58:36 > 2:58:38magazines, I read magazines that are interesting.
2:58:38 > 2:58:40They might be about architecture or engineering.
2:58:40 > 2:58:43I don't go, oh, I'm a woman, I'd better do woman things.
2:58:43 > 2:58:47And so, this idea that kind of people who are old,
2:58:47 > 2:58:50or people who are young, must only be interested in a certain
2:58:50 > 2:58:52thing, I find it a bit...
2:58:52 > 2:58:55It jangles me a bit.
2:58:55 > 2:58:57So, I mean the idea...
2:58:57 > 2:59:01I've worked in theatres a lot, we love "the grey pound" coming,
2:59:01 > 2:59:04because when they sit in a show, they listen to all the words.
2:59:04 > 2:59:05They don't check their phones.
2:59:05 > 2:59:08They watch the play.
2:59:08 > 2:59:09So, hurrah for the grey pound!
2:59:09 > 2:59:13Hurrah for old people like me!
2:59:13 > 2:59:15I wish you all the best with the Baftas.
2:59:15 > 2:59:16Thank you very much indeed.
2:59:16 > 2:59:18Thank you so much for talking to us.
2:59:18 > 2:59:20It was a pleasure talking to you, thank you.
2:59:20 > 2:59:23The Baftas are on BBC One this Sunday at 9pm.
2:59:23 > 2:59:34I love that.She's very showbiz, isn't she?!I love Joanna Lumley.
2:59:34 > 2:59:40I'll obviously be watching it.
2:59:40 > 2:59:42Coming from a disadvantaged background halves your chance
2:59:42 > 2:59:45of getting the top grades at GCSE, and only one-in-eight children
2:59:45 > 2:59:47from low-income families are likely to go on to become high-earners
2:59:47 > 2:59:49as adults.
2:59:49 > 2:59:53So these stark statistics are behind a new BBC series which will follow
2:59:53 > 2:59:57the progress of six gifted but underprivileged people is over three
2:59:57 > 3:00:00years. We will speak to a couple of them in a moment as they tried to
3:00:00 > 3:00:02follow their dreams a look.
3:00:02 > 3:00:04Here is my room.
3:00:04 > 3:00:08Mine and my sister's room, more like.
3:00:08 > 3:00:10Here is my clothes.
3:00:10 > 3:00:14Well, kind of everybody's clothes.
3:00:14 > 3:00:16Here's the bed, which takes up half of the room.
3:00:16 > 3:00:18Destiny sleeps there.
3:00:18 > 3:00:24And I sleep over here.
3:00:24 > 3:00:30My sister's put her foot in my face, it's really annoying,
3:00:30 > 3:00:32so I tell Mum I can't...
3:00:32 > 3:00:33No more, I need my space.
3:00:33 > 3:00:37My goals are to get good GCSEs, to get into the best university
3:00:37 > 3:00:41and to become a paediatrician...
3:00:41 > 3:00:48That's my dream.
3:00:48 > 3:00:51We're now joined by Jada, who was in the clip you saw there,
3:00:51 > 3:00:54as well as fellow student Liam, and teachers Vic Panjanaden
3:00:54 > 3:01:00and Chris Boyce.
3:01:00 > 3:01:05Welcome all. Liam, let's start with you, we heard from Jada in the clip
3:01:05 > 3:01:08there. Is it weird to watch yourself on television knowing that people
3:01:08 > 3:01:11are thinking about your background and what you want to do with your
3:01:11 > 3:01:18life?Yeah, definitely weird, never thought I would see myself on TV, to
3:01:18 > 3:01:22be honest!Originally you wanted to be a chef but now you are thinking
3:01:22 > 3:01:28about being a doctor, what brought about the change?A trip that Mr
3:01:28 > 3:01:33Boyce convinced us to go on, a medical and dentistry day, and when
3:01:33 > 3:01:36we went the medicine really intrigued us and I got into it a
3:01:36 > 3:01:41lot, so I have kind of changed my mind of what I wanted to be.The
3:01:41 > 3:01:45concept of this is interesting, these children are clearly, as it
3:01:45 > 3:01:49says on the programme, gifted. Do you get frustrated when you see a
3:01:49 > 3:01:55young lad like this, clearly really bright, but perhaps not able to get
3:01:55 > 3:01:59opportunities that perhaps other people might?Absolutely, it is the
3:01:59 > 3:02:03most frustrating thing in the world. People say our job as teachers is to
3:02:03 > 3:02:07raise aspirations more than anything else but we want to make sure they
3:02:07 > 3:02:11fill Paul -- feel that potential and it frustrates us when we feel they
3:02:11 > 3:02:17cannot do that.So you take them on trips, do you purposely do that
3:02:17 > 3:02:21because it might make a difference? Yes, where we come from, we might
3:02:21 > 3:02:25not see people in these jobs, not people that we know, from our area,
3:02:25 > 3:02:28so I want to make sure they are exposed to the possibilities of what
3:02:28 > 3:02:32they could do.We speak to people all the time on this programme and
3:02:32 > 3:02:35one of the frustrating things is to see children who could achieve so
3:02:35 > 3:02:39much and don't get there so this must be quite fulfilling for you to
3:02:39 > 3:02:44be part of a programme where, hopefully, Jada, you want to be a
3:02:44 > 3:02:48paediatrician, so you are trying to push children to somewhere they feel
3:02:48 > 3:02:53they can get with their abilities? Absolutely, and the thing with Jada,
3:02:53 > 3:02:56she is an incredibly driven and motivated young lady, prepared to
3:02:56 > 3:03:01put in the work, no question about that. Sometimes I worry that no
3:03:01 > 3:03:06matter how hard she works there will be other barriers that. Her from
3:03:06 > 3:03:15realising these things. The evidence, when you
3:03:16 > 3:03:17evidence, when you look at society, shows that people from more affluent
3:03:17 > 3:03:20backgrounds go on to be more successful but we are talking about
3:03:20 > 3:03:23people here with exactly the same academic ability and that is the
3:03:23 > 3:03:24really frustrating thing.It is really clear, having watched a bit
3:03:24 > 3:03:27of the programme, you are super determined, which is a fantastic
3:03:27 > 3:03:32thing to be. Tell us about the things you find getting in your way?
3:03:32 > 3:03:35I think it is having the time to juggle revision with your own
3:03:35 > 3:03:39lifestyle because sometimes it is hard, you want to have a social life
3:03:39 > 3:03:44but you need to remember having the revision aspect in it and keeping on
3:03:44 > 3:03:48top of revision because any time you slipped back it affects you and
3:03:48 > 3:03:51sometimes it can be overwhelming having the amount of revision that
3:03:51 > 3:03:56you need to do to get where you want to beat, so you have to make
3:03:56 > 3:03:59sacrifices.It is also important, watching the programme, you clearly
3:03:59 > 3:04:04loves spending time with your mates, love the area you grew up in
3:04:04 > 3:04:08wunderbar change, you can still be you, but also go on to achieve great
3:04:08 > 3:04:17things in life. You loved growing up, didn't you?Yes, it has been a
3:04:17 > 3:04:21good experience and everything, I am proud of where I come from so in the
3:04:21 > 3:04:27future I'll be able to look back and say where I have come from and show
3:04:27 > 3:04:30how far I have come.And what do your friends and family make of your
3:04:30 > 3:04:37ambition to become a doctor?My mum is always pleased with whatever I
3:04:37 > 3:04:45want to be, and my grandad was always hesitant of us being a chef,
3:04:45 > 3:04:49so he is more pleased now that I have decided to be a doctor!And
3:04:49 > 3:04:52what about the reaction from your friends and family? Are they
3:04:52 > 3:04:57impressed by you?Yeah, they would say to go for your dream and my
3:04:57 > 3:05:02friends are very supportive of this, they say, you can do this, my mum
3:05:02 > 3:05:07and my father and my family are supportive, they say, there is
3:05:07 > 3:05:10nothing stopping you, follow your dream.The brilliant thing is this
3:05:10 > 3:05:13programme will follow you, you have done one year with them and there
3:05:13 > 3:05:17will be the next two years to see how you do.
3:05:17 > 3:05:21You are year ten at the moment? Good luck, good luck with the GCSEs when
3:05:21 > 3:05:23you get that. We will follow your stories as well.
3:05:23 > 3:05:28Generation Gifted starts on BBC Two at 9pm on Wednesday.
3:05:29 > 3:05:33Two future doctors on the programme. Anti wonderful teachers as well! We
3:05:33 > 3:05:39should have said thank you to you! Teachers, doctors, we love you all!
3:05:39 > 3:05:41In a moment, we'll be speaking to Nathaniel Martello-White,
3:05:41 > 3:05:43who's starring alongside Carey Mulligan in the BBC's latest
3:05:43 > 3:05:44crime thriller, Collateral.
3:05:44 > 3:05:46But first, a last, brief look at the headlines
3:05:46 > 3:07:20where you are this morning.
3:07:20 > 3:07:21in London's markets.
3:07:21 > 3:07:29Bye for now.
3:07:35 > 3:07:39You are watching Breakfast. Here is the plot of a new BBC One drama...
3:07:39 > 3:07:41A pizza delivery driver is shot dead in a seemingly
3:07:41 > 3:07:44random act of violence, but all is not what it seems
3:07:44 > 3:07:45in the BBC's new crime thriller, Collateral.
3:07:45 > 3:07:48Set over four days, the series follows the investigation to track
3:07:48 > 3:07:50down the killer and uncovers a darker conspiracy
3:07:50 > 3:07:51behind the attack.
3:07:51 > 3:07:57In a moment, we'll speak to Nathaniel Martello-White,
3:07:57 > 3:07:59who stars alongside Carey Mulligan as tenacious
3:07:59 > 3:08:00Detective Sergeant Nathan Bilk.
3:08:00 > 3:08:01But first, let's take a look.
3:08:01 > 3:08:03Shall we just think this thing through?
3:08:03 > 3:08:04Please.
3:08:04 > 3:08:06Can we?
3:08:06 > 3:08:10Like, normally how you have a body, then you work out who they are
3:08:10 > 3:08:11and who might want to kill them.
3:08:11 > 3:08:12Yeah?
3:08:12 > 3:08:13That's the procedure.
3:08:13 > 3:08:14If you say so.
3:08:14 > 3:08:17Only, as I understand it, and let me know if I'm
3:08:17 > 3:08:20going too fast for you, this time we don't know who's meant
3:08:20 > 3:08:21to have been killed.
3:08:21 > 3:08:22Yes, I'm onto that.
3:08:22 > 3:08:24So, working out why seems more than normally difficult.
3:08:24 > 3:08:25That's very good.
3:08:25 > 3:08:27You've got your speech ready for the superintendent.
3:08:27 > 3:08:28Anything to add?
3:08:28 > 3:08:29Nothing.
3:08:29 > 3:08:31You?
3:08:31 > 3:08:33Yeah.
3:08:33 > 3:08:35There's nobody here.
3:08:35 > 3:08:36Nobody except us.
3:08:36 > 3:08:38Why would there be?
3:08:38 > 3:08:39Because these people are Syrian.
3:08:39 > 3:08:41So?
3:08:41 > 3:08:42They're Syrian.
3:08:42 > 3:08:43What I'm asking, where's MI5?
3:08:43 > 3:08:44Where's counterterrorism?
3:08:44 > 3:08:47Where are they?
3:08:47 > 3:08:49Anything of this nature in the region and they're
3:08:49 > 3:08:52like flies around dead meat, why aren't they here?
3:08:52 > 3:08:56My guess is they're still in bed.
3:08:56 > 3:09:00Nathaniel joins us now.
3:09:00 > 3:09:06I should have said it is on BBC Two, isn't it? BBC Two! You can watch it
3:09:06 > 3:09:11on iPlayer as well. Tell us a bit about these two, their relationship?
3:09:11 > 3:09:16They work well together but there is a bit of tension?Underlying
3:09:16 > 3:09:20intention, yeah. I guess it is the first case that she is my superior
3:09:20 > 3:09:24so we have always worked side by side on a similar rank and I don't
3:09:24 > 3:09:28think you have any problem with that at first but then I think we start
3:09:28 > 3:09:32dealing with the case in very different ways and I think Nathan is
3:09:32 > 3:09:38very buy the book, likes to follow the whole rule book and Carey's
3:09:38 > 3:09:43character uses more gung ho tactics, as it were, which create a bit of a
3:09:43 > 3:09:49rift between them.Drama is such a huge thing at the moment, people
3:09:49 > 3:09:57talking around a series and getting into things, McMafia finished at the
3:09:57 > 3:10:00weekend as well, you must get a lot of scripts, so what stood out about
3:10:00 > 3:10:04this?I remember reading it on the overground on my way into Shoreditch
3:10:04 > 3:10:09and being blown away by the world of it, where one event effects ate very
3:10:09 > 3:10:13different people and, as David Hare says, you cannot have a feature film
3:10:13 > 3:10:16with eight protagonists but you can have a TV show with eight
3:10:16 > 3:10:21protagonists. I was just really struck by the writing. I come from
3:10:21 > 3:10:28the to myself, so I am
3:10:28 > 3:10:30the to myself, so I am used to dealing with big ideas, big
3:10:30 > 3:10:33conflicts, so this was, yeah, this fell in line with that.It is very
3:10:33 > 3:10:38London centric as well, was that important to you?Well, I am a
3:10:38 > 3:10:41Londoner, as you can hear from the accident! I am from south London so
3:10:41 > 3:10:47what was great was getting the car into the set every day and all the
3:10:47 > 3:10:55unit bases were back Vauxhall... Exactly, that was really cool. And
3:10:55 > 3:11:00it was great playing a cop as well because you are going through each
3:11:00 > 3:11:03location like two detectives would serve me and Carey got to work with
3:11:03 > 3:11:07all of the cast from the beginning to the end of the chutes and you get
3:11:07 > 3:11:12a weird parallel experience.When you are shooting in a big city like
3:11:12 > 3:11:17London, how much harder is it, logistically, to lock down the areas
3:11:17 > 3:11:25that you are in?Pretty hard. They said London is renowned to be hard
3:11:25 > 3:11:29to shoot in which is why a lot shoot in Liverpool and here in Manchester
3:11:29 > 3:11:33and stuff, but I think we did a pretty good job of it. The only
3:11:33 > 3:11:37tricky moment was when we had the attacks halfway through shooting and
3:11:37 > 3:11:40because there are lots of fake police officers and whatnot we had
3:11:40 > 3:11:45to stand down shooting in case people were running to ask for
3:11:45 > 3:11:52assistance, and you are like, no, I'm an actor.Really?!Oh, my gosh!
3:11:52 > 3:11:57So we had to stand down shooting that day.Tell us a bit about Carey,
3:11:57 > 3:12:03she is a great actor?Phenomenal, I call her an acting ninja, just so
3:12:03 > 3:12:08composed, so contained. It was a joy to work with her. She has a massive
3:12:08 > 3:12:14profile, she has done incredible work but she is completely humble
3:12:14 > 3:12:18and I come from theatre as well so I am used to making it about the
3:12:18 > 3:12:23scene, making it playful and in the moment, and she was really up for
3:12:23 > 3:12:30that.Recently we have seen you in gorilla,
3:12:30 > 3:12:34gorilla, and in Kiri as well, some really hard hitting stuff?I have
3:12:34 > 3:12:38been lucky because I think a lot of the material that I am attracting
3:12:38 > 3:12:42is, I don't want of a political, as it were, but political and
3:12:42 > 3:12:46entertaining. In Guerilla I play a convict, in this I play a cop, in
3:12:46 > 3:12:51Kiri I played a lawyer, so I am getting a nice range of characters
3:12:51 > 3:12:55to play but the context feels very relevant in now and what is going on
3:12:55 > 3:13:00in society.And you write yourself, don't you? It has to be curious
3:13:00 > 3:13:04because does it make you more critical of writing, do you think?I
3:13:04 > 3:13:10think I'm in quite a privileged position because, as an actor, I get
3:13:10 > 3:13:14to spy on lots of scripts that are being written and go into
3:13:14 > 3:13:18production, so I get to see where the bar is! I don't know if other
3:13:18 > 3:13:22writers get that insight into what is being made. But it is like a
3:13:22 > 3:13:26figure of eight, each feeds into the other, really, in which is the
3:13:26 > 3:13:32other.Thank you so much for coming on, you can see Nathaniel in
3:13:32 > 3:13:35Collateral on BBC Two tonight at 9pm.
3:13:35 > 3:13:37Lovely to see you, thank you so much.
3:13:37 > 3:13:38That's it from us this morning.
3:13:38 > 3:13:41We'll be back tomorrow with all the latest Winter Olympic action.
3:13:41 > 3:13:47I will try to get some sleep!
3:13:47 > 3:13:49Until then, goodbye.
